Watch me be all zen and stuff

The sky has been dropping quiet sheets of rain on us for the last hour or so.  It’s very soothing.  And yes, I know I just came from the Pacific Northwest, and I know I should be tired of rain, but it rains differently there.  And I know this rain isn’t the beginning of 7 months of nothing but rain.  And I have trees right outside my windows and they’re turning yellow and there’s a slate blue house across the street with a red-leafed tree in front and it has a stone chimney and behind that there’s a really tall oak tree whose leaves are still green so even though the sky is grey, everything I can see is full of peaceful colors.

    So here’s what I did with it:

    Providential Rain

    The sky is dropping quiet sheets of rain, soul soothing.
    And yes, I know I should be tired of rain,
    but it rains differently there.
    And yes, I know this rain
    isn’t the beginning
    of unending rain.

    And I have trees outside my windows.They’re turning yellow
    and there’s a slate blue house across the street
    with a red-leafed tree in front
    and a stone chimney
    and behind that
    a really tall oak tree
    whose leaves are still green.

    And even though the sky is grey,
    All I see are peaceful, streaky colors
    {Reminding me I’m here not there.} To go back to the contrast you bring up at the beginning.
