Listening…

by Kevin T. McEneaney

A good rain is a delightful pleasure

that permits a hiatus in schedule,

time to ponder the verities of life,

analyze reflection, panorama,

of what is happening to you or friends,

or perhaps discover a new idea

on how to organize comic future

and be as responsible as a bee

working industriously for the hive,

or newly arrived chickadee joining

a flock for the long winter’s duration.

That patter on the pane is a welcome

introduction to introspection

on your peculiar seat in life’s drama…

Breathing the rain
