  Walking in the day, drizzle down the neck,
rainchill drops fall tiny on my face.
Almost misty at times, making the day vague and cloudy,
a maze of promises in a dark cloud.
Checking the mail becomes an adventure
when the cool damp hits the face,
and the wind burbles around you;
you return dotted with drops,
each a story about where it's been:
was it a part of some great sea?
Did it cool the face of a shepherd
in a former drop-life?
Did it moisten a drought-ridden soil,
coaxing growth and fertility
for a desperate farmer?
Did it bring laughter to children
who try to catch it on their tongues?
Rain is such a simple thing, but really--
where has it been before?
I wonder as I walk in the rainchill drops
as rain falls some more...

Today--February 22, 2013--is a rainy day. I thought about rain as I started to write this...and this is what came out. Enjoy it, fellow bookaholics! Peace!
