I Watch

I watch-

Looking out the windows

Light streaming in

Water seeps through

Millions of windows

Above me

Beside me

Walls ripple with the wind

Birds chirp from their nests

Squirrels scatter

I watch

Clouds roll

Across a still blue sky

Droplets fall

My eyes are closed

Every drop washes

My fears roll with it

Thunder rumbles

Stomach grumbles

Lightening flashes

A brilliant smile

I watch

Critters hide

Birds droop

Cars fly

Across the pavement

Rocks sing

Flowers welcome

Buildings stand

Their ground

Water streams

Like sorry tears

I accept

And I watch

Walls sway

And floors too

Music patters

Grass embraces

Cold mercy

Blue wisps

Gray retreats

And so do I

Then

I watch

-the rain
