noon rain

the background in shades of deep white

and tons of grey

the sun making its presence 

in the mid hour of the day 

there is a moment of gaze

of the end of the moment

of the lighting taking everything with it

of the soft soft rain 

you can not even see if not focusing

oh I am grateful

for the break 

for the hot tea

for the birds hum

sometimes all we need is a moment

of silence

of self preservation

sometimes taking a break in health

is the instant we have for acknowledgement

for renovation

for everything is cycled

nothing ever stays the same

and if you force it, the signals are stronger than ever

oh so beautiful

unassumingly 

just being

no more words

only rejoice in gazing
