I like rainy days because they resonate

In time, and in purpose, and in shade

Though the whole world over might wish changed

The day will stand and say, “nay”

I like rainy days because they consolidate

The space we infiltrate in this world

This way doors remain shut and people away

While in the vast open space I lay curled

I like rainy days because they precipitate

And spill what once was held in delay

Yet eventually even clouds can’t hold troubles above ground

And so tears they spill upon the day

I fear rainy days because I postulate

Of the expectations arisen for myself

The texts I receive all say “if not for you I would grieve”

Yet if they knew they’d still ring mourning bells

I like rainy days because they resonate

Their time passes with greys in the skies

And ambient sounds fall on all the earth round

And for a moment, it feels as if I could die
