Loneliness—friend, lover and sister, is the
mood to which we feel drawn like a magnet. Diversity makes any our
insertion with people unlikely to be accepted and appreciated.
Distant from the great emotions, we cultivate solitude while waiting
for its fruits.
It’s Raining Today
It’s raining today—
light and impertinent
from the glossy-roofed
to the sidewalk—
quietly—
everlasting.
It’s raining today,
thousands of drops
on your gray-faced—
low as the clouds,
on your eyes
I can’t meet.
It’s raining today,
drops of sadness
are born and slip
on sharp awakenings,
on fears
in the middle of the night.
It’s raining today,
not a breath of wind,
not even a tea at the window,
or a sad song
melting
a tender hug.
It just rains...
