Rainy Winter Scene

Rainy Winter Scene

Confluence of light,

Gathered on puddled rain,

Dark shadows,

Absorbing as much as night will allow,

Its night’s morning time,

It holds every power,

Tenacious in capacity,

Unyielding,

Voracious,

Still fomenting light pursues its dark captor,

And, dances,

In rippled delight,

It holds me, too,

This light,

I love this time of night morning,

Especially in the rainy cold of winter,

It frees my soul,

Light will win the battle,

Darkness pervades,

But, it forgets,

It forgets that,

Light brings life,

Light brings laughter,

And,

Light brings love!
