The greyness of the day
reminds
me of pain
as the rain falls like shards of glass piercing my heart.
So I turn this thought over.
Instead of wallowing in lament
I imagine the rain is a waterfall which I am now standing under.
A flash of lightning,
the roar of thunder,
and I feel my pain dissipate.
Taking back my power.
Now in another time
another place.
As I look out the window
the sun begins to shine.
