6.12.2014
rain in the night brings
a smile
snug in our beds
windows askew
doggie hiding in the
tile bathroom
the steady rising and
slowing patter
flows like good wishes
down the roof slant
washing away the
sins and failings of
whatever life threw
at us that day
and with my love beside
me in our modern cave
I peek out from under
the covers, give her
hand a squeeze and
breath deeply at the
crispness of our lives
appreciation is only
a word.
