dawn showers

the depth of meaning found
within the splat,
pitter, plat,
pat of rain falling in the town,
slipped away so long ago.


profound truths lost to selfish wanderings.


a soul set adrift:
free
to forge his way alone.

free
to love universal.

free
from you,
and from me.


and the sounds of the rain fade back into the night.


in that vast silence

he finds solace in solitude.

he finds himself once again
free

to face the returning storm.
