A rainy day poem

The rain pelts sliding and dancing down my window


In the dark I lie undisturbed covered in my blanket of doubt

A bolt of lightening strikes lighting up the sky in brilliant hues

I lay listening to the thunder rumble its authority

Silently, I lift a stray hair from his brow

His skin is warm beneath my fingers

His slow breathing is somewhat mesmerizing

I imagine how my life would have been different without him here

This house, this bed, they would only be figments of reality

Another bolt strikes

Sometimes the paths we follow lead us into unfamiliar territory

Sometimes were forced to grow up quickly and learn early the sting of life

Rumbling thunder

I lie physically unmoving

I close my heavy eyes slowly feeling my body flooded with warmth

The warmth reassures me that this is right

The thunder booms once more but in the distance this time

The rain reverts to a drizzle and I slumber with a smile upon my face
