today it rained

today it rained

like tears

for one 

who died

gifted, giving

gone

i know 

this winter rain 

brings green and new

spring

like 

these tears

bring healing

acceptance

growth

but for today

the sky and i 

weep

 

maybe i was wrong

i was enchanted by the photos of the white stuff, falling everywhere but here. desperate for a bit of fluff. to step deep into winter and give myself to it.
but i was wrong. this little chocolate vine, new last spring, popped up and said hi, reminding me that i don't live in the dormant. i live for the spring.
