Last Night The Rain Came

It was a steady drumming
in the dark.


It was a presence. A humming
in the air.


It was an influence. A pulsing
in the atmosphere.


It was a change coming. A shifting.
A worry in the heart.


And I closed my eyes to it. And I felt
weary and frightened.


And I fell asleep to the sound of it.

And in the world behind my eyes
apprehensive dreams occurred.


And I was scared. And I wanted to wake
and be soothed by the sun.


But I didn't. Couldn't. Did not.


What Must Be Done?
