Rainy Days

Face upturned to the wild warm rain
She laughs and spins and sighs
No Gene Kelly here, but the glow is the same.
Soaked through, oblivious
Breasts high, soul higher
Heart higher still.
The summer rain cannot dampen her spirits.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Facing no one and nothing,
She walks with stolid steps
No Tina Turner here, but the pain is the same.
Soaked through, oblivious
Shoulders sag, chin lowered
Heart sunk lower still.
The winter rain can only hide her tears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Face lifted slightly to the gentle rain
She stops, and calmly smiles
No Beatles here, but the beat is the same.
Soaked through, enlivened
Eyes clear, mind clear,
Soul calm and still.
The spring rain can only heighten her sense of being whole.
