It's been raining.
April showers. To finish the holiday.
We've had days of driving rain,
the dried out reeds like wet gold
stitched in zig zags across my window.
The cold seeping in between the pane and frame
pooling there like a melancholy sigh.
And then it softens to a ghostly whisper,
barely heard on the rooftop.
A faint mizzling that somehow drenches.
It bleeds the colour from sky and stone and field.Yet rests lightly on me
a gentle hand.
I am overcome, on days like these,
with wonder and quiet joy.
Soothed with the silence it brings, the promise of peace.
And in the morning, a moment of light, a brightening shade,
a nod.
Oh. I am patient.

Beautiful words. And pictures too. I shall return to read them again I think.
That's lovely - we've had a lot of rain here too - and a lot of flooding - at least the snow and ice are going...
Thankfully, the sun returned today! Back to the garden.

So pretty.
Raining here too. And cold!
Thank you for bringing us along in the wonder with your words and images... *sigh* We've had all manner and orchestration of rain today here too... the number of times I've been drenched in one day, and you're right, even by the mildest... but how lovely to have all the colors competing through the gray and the water for our attention and joy!!
And thank you, too, for your comments/compliments on my blog; I commented there-- I misread "look" for "book" at first- (still quite Twilight Intoxicated) :[ ;)
