rain induced darkness
overhead clouds bring dampness
winter’s grip still hurts

overhead clouds bring dampness
winter’s grip still hurts

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>Early morning, life starts to stir, Seattle’s rainy tendencies reach their fullest expression. Not the monsoons of my childhood, rather, regular, continuous drip. The weather presents challenges for many.

<
p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>I listen to the gentle patter of the rain, memories full my head. Sitting in my bay window watching the rain. Laying in my childhood bed. Sitting in cafes, drying from walking, coffee welcome warmth.

p style=”font-family:"font-size:16px;”>Does rain’s sound trigger any memories for you?

cold morning
rain gently taps
the day awakens

The sun’s above clouds
Droplets’ vigorous descent
Crows raucously call
rain upon my roof
gentlest of rattles
pre-dawn darkness

Seattle’s rain falls
grey skies with shades of rich blue
perhaps we’ll see snow
