A practice in patience
standing in the shadows
you dawn on me
with a glowing smile
to wake up my heart
Clouds blotted you today
replaced with incessant rain
threatening stormy weather
refracted to my soul
Time’s lethargy
spreading contagiously
as hours creep on
while I wait for you this time
I ought to love the rain
filled with memories
of its gentle dance with me
synchronised with my storm
But I am back to longing again
to find the Sun waiting for me.

Simply marvellous for words and an apt picture too add to the beauty of your poem Chevvy.

Thank you Kathy😀 Of course I’ll always plead poetic license but I had good material to work with. It’s been raining all week with flood warnings everyday. On the other hand, we’re grateful for the rain since we’ve been facing a serious drought.

I love the muted light of sunrise and sunset, but can hardly tolerate sun full-on. Too much, too bright. Rainy days seem cozier to me somehow. But I get this, and have many friends who get depressed without enough sunshine. 🙂

Oh I have nothing against rain, problem for me is that it gets too cosy that I have less inclination for work. I’d say I’m far more of a sunshine girl. Even now it’s raining though. But it is all good since we had been facing water restrictions.😀
