sitting at the bus stop
the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end
I fear winter has found me
and embraced me
in it's awkward way
but I remember the light at the end of the tunnel
spring
I remember the spring two years ago
when it was raining
a warm soft rain
I stood outside for two hours
I felt every droplet
roll off my face
the warmth
how every drop
absorbed all the heat from my body
slowly.
putting my hands over my ears
listening to the water run down
past my eyes, my cheeks
my lips, my neck
the dampness of everything
and the greed it brought to me.

I felt the rain running over me.  Well done, lady.

The rain the soothing life force.
I have stood in the rain many a time and just marveled in its beauty.
The poem came across beautifully, it is nice to see a crack in the door when winter has begun to take root.

Tomorrow comes for those who fear it.
Today never ends for those who live it.
