Rain in May
The biggest lesson of today
A day of rain and cold and quiet
Is to enjoy
Yes it’s the midst of May
The time of sun and warmth and flowers and green
Yet
Those things aberrant are often the very things we need
To see our lives in a whole new way
I take my last drink of my peppermint hot chocolate
Thankful for its warmth
This cold sits foreign against my skin
Yet I do not ask just why or when
Things will go back to the way I’ve known them
That way may never be known again
This rain is a good friend
