renewal

recently, life has thrown me some curveballs. its put some of my plans (and motivation) on hold. but today, i saw the sun. literally. i felt its warm rays as if for the first time in a while and there was a sense of renewal.
its good to feel the sun again.

rain

its raining again.
today, i heard thunder.
loud, scolding.
i can hear the raindrops beating on the window pane,
alive and wanting to come in.
thunder strikes again. angrier this time.
my heart beats faster, and i ask myself
if it was angry with me.

perhaps the heavens are shedding tears
...or celebrating all that is to come.
i too feel it inside me,
joy and sorrow, all at once.
a restlessness in my heart i cannot explain.
but expressed perfectly by the dissonance
outside my window.
