RAIN

Today it rains.

Cold, wet, falling

as if a bucket has been dumped from the heavens

Dark skies, winds cutting right through me

as if the sword it wields holds power to cut me in half.

Today it rains

My body curses it with all it holds

inside its shell

Pain exudes like the nerves are a light

emanating from my inner being.

Today  it rains

and I am not a fan.
