On Rainy Days


It’s always gonna rain
some days
when did the part of me change
that expected sun every day
I am grateful
that it did
there’s alot to be said for rainy days
the light’s not so early in my window
the heat’s not so consuming of my skin
the realization doesn’t so quickly settle on you
on rainy days
I find I can sleep again

Those last 5 lines are the best, I think they could even stand alone...of course then you wouldn't have the witnessing of the change in you and your outlook.  But I just had to say how much I enjoyed those lines, especially!

JLR~
Rainy days make either great hibernation moments~
OR
Puddle-jumping joy !
I've taken the time to enjoy both !

Nicely written thoughts.
