Poetry
I Brave the Rain
A grey day, gentle liquid temperings
in the pitter patter, raindrops dissipate the knots
in the warm wet turmoil of the Earth turning,
the simple sliver of a moment. The way knows
no easy tracing for the gaze of a soul
so keen on feeling and planning a course, but long
have there ceased any lines for a sure, still surge
for terra firma. Learn to lunge, or lose
the lurid rush of leaping over red death.
Stamping down full-blooded, shaking
fear's lingering ectoplasm, throttling doom
with a punch to split the peripatetic shying
from what must be done, from wish to dream, weary
to warring. Enough is enough, my feet are shod
and bound for great levitations of aspirations, wary
less for ledges unreached - I brave the rain.
