Rain

The grey, macabre sky

Purging of aquatic swords,

The cold shivers of winter

Immobilised my words.

The rain is now a villain.

Its droplets - ruthless, cruel,

A reflection of a stranger

I see forming in the pool.

I see an anxious expression

Under scrutinous restraint

This cloud-induced rebellion

Will leave the soul unchained.

The mesmerising firmament

Scattering aquatic jewels,

The warm breeze of summer

Vaporised my rules.

The rain is now a blessing.

A translucent symphony

Shows a familiar reflection

Breaking free from scrutiny.

I see the joyful colours

I hear the sound of bliss,

The cosmos celebrating

An unexpected peace.
