RAIN

It grows, bleeds, dies

it shines-

forever depth glimmering

bright lights reflecting, blinding,

going on forever.

The light signals “go”-

growing reaching surging

down into the

darkness

down into

uncertainty:

hope,

then the

harsh lights puncture the uncertain

surface-red blood glistening

down down down

.stop.

only relieved for a moment

by

a splash rippling the

surface of

uncertainty

and then there is death

yellow yellow yellow

reflections

thoughts

life

gone

down into that

uncertain road

happy day!

we've had rain and more rain. it's may 19th and we're still in jeans and sweatshirts. but there was at least a portion of today that wasn't raining and, because i finished school early i went outside. I swung and listened to a distant thunderstorm roll in....and took pictures. And then I almost died. I was preoccupied with my camera which was strapped around my shoulder and sitting in my lap as I swung (and I wasn't holding on) then when I went to grab hold of the ropes again, I missed but had already started leaning backwards to pump and I almost fell off and died. But I didn't. So that was my afternoon. Here's some pictures of it:

There is something
very poetic
about
raindrops
sprinkling into a
puddle-
the way the ripples
are just sort of there
and the
drops
are suddenly gone
and then
the ripples
disappear-
it reminds me of poetry.

Steady,
Like rain-
falling.
Consistent,
Drumming on the ground.
No matter what,
Always
Unmoving-
God
Doesn't depend on my circumstances,
No,
He planned them all.
Doesn't depend on how I feel,
No,
He created my emotions
Doesn't depend on me at all,
Because-
He is
He was
He will always be.
