When it rains, it pours
When it pours, close the doors
For it does not feel nice
To walk on soaking floors

Instead, look out the window
With your head upon a pillow
Oh look, swaying in the storm
is a lovely weeping willow

After the storm has passed
Raindrops cling upon the glass
And to hold this memory in time
You stop and take a photo.

I know, that you know, that the last line did not rhyme, but sometimes my dear it’s fine. 🙂

painting the air a misty white,
turning the concrete slick and black,
the trees afresh, newly rinsed,
leaves shining lacquered green,
with birds hiding deep within.

Excited!

Reading a book without knowing what it’s about is the best feeling. Just a few lines in, and you’ll know if you’ll go on a journey with it or not. With this one, I’m shocked beyond belief. What a book! I don’t know where it’s going to take me, but I’m in for a ride. Let’s go, Ministry of Time! #thrilled #excited
