Maybe it's not just the desert that needs this grey-skyed, rain-drenched day. As I sat sipping my coffee, watching rain soak the thirsty, drought-stricken world outside, these words surfaced from within me:
Rain
pours out of me
into the soft ground
where what is left
of you
lies now for all eternity.
In my heart--
where the rain begins--
love enfolds us
and keeps us
close.
