Rainclouds

Life's challenges are like a water cycle with rain as their constant outcome. We spend most of life seeking shelter from these since they come at an unstoppable rate.

Sheltering from them is, apparently, a lost cause.

We can't stop the rain from pouring, but we can create shelter when we admit it frustrates us. Although the shelter that we build may not be as sturdy as we might like, we can adjust our expectations and use them in different ways. And we may as well learn from its takeaway lessons since we are so frustrated.

Enjoy these Haikus.

Dark passing rain cloud

Droplets pelting on the soul

Wet it as tears drop

Dark cloud that passes

Rickety shelter covers

And steady but sure

Its raindrops that wet

Soaking us through to the skin

Leaving clear patterns.
