Epiphany

The old clock still ticks
too loud at 3 a.m.
as the wind parts
the lace curtains
yet another storm approaches
the scent of rain fills the room
rain slapping the leaves
of the Chinese Maple
quiets the crickets
so I can clearly hear
my mind speak
all my epiphanies
arrive at this hour
mine are the hands
that only hours earlier
lit lavender scented candles
poured red wine
and
massaged your warm skin
ever so slowly
so tenderly
I study my hands
in the flash of lightening
wondering how they could
have led me astray
