"RAIN IN THE DESERT"""

I woke up today.

This morning I realized

Iam grateful in every way

to write the words in a way

of hearing rain splatter

around the town.

What does it matter?

The plants drink around,

wondering how drunk they are

in this town.

It's raining in Southern California,

today all around

every town,

every city.

What a pity,

but not really

as I drink my coffee,

so warm.

My bird moves around,

bound to her cage.

I burn my sage.

I burn my candle.

I pray to the universe to

thank it for the rain,

that's not in vain

near this desert near LA.

We need rain.

What'd I say

on a rainy day

in the morning way?

I lay here by my PC,

typing away on my phone,

listening to the rain

at my home.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

We are not alone.

Shout it out!

In a moment

of a thought for the day

What'd I say?
