Gentle windpaths brush my skin,
or touch the trees;
As I lay, here.
Raindrops cry down shadowed walls,
or outside panes;
As I lay, here.
Greying stormclouds dance within,
or mar the sky;
As I lay, here.
Sunlight beams ‘gainst bedroom halls,
or ‘gainst the world;
As I lay, here.
Storms without and storms within,
all in my mind;
As I lay, here.

I really like this. Truly. It’s like listening to waves come onto shore. Anthology, anyone?

Ever expanding that comfort zone. 🙂 I plan to try some metrical verse myself, not something I usually do.

The weather here was almost this…it was quite nice.
(And an equally nice, pleasant poem!)

Thank you! Coincidentally, I wrote it during fair weather, and published during foul.

I think storms can happy when one is sleep deprived. Oh, and it can rain outside too 🙂
Rest when you can 😉
