Musings from a Monsoon Lake
February 9, 2017
peace--
a rainstorm pound
pound pounding on
a roof that is
not mine,
rivulets running
into lakes
i do not
own,
water like
the moon and
scars not on my skins.
peace--
a chill in
the air that
stops before my soul,
noise of a crowd
that quiets at
a doorway,
the frenetic hustling
of fish
evading rain,
while i
stay dry
under this canopy,
within yet without
of this
raging storm
and with thet
knowledge that if
i stay here
forever
the rain will
never affect me.
