dark clouds
hang down like curtains
in front of me
from the dome-like
sky
shadows engulf my car
as i move forward
rain splattering
Pollack-like designs
on my windshield
looming tendrils
of gray
are somehow comforting
molding the world
into a small sheltered
cave
a manageable size
respite
from the angry
clamor of seismatic shifts
in the story of our world
knocking every two-legged
creature
off-balance
it's raining
creating retreat from chaos
a refreshing hug
form Mother Nature
a tender reminder
to not worry about
the world
today
but to breathe deep
of the soothing newness
the cleansing
of trees, streets, grass,
cornfields
a reminder
from the Source of all Life
to
just
Be
Here
Now
