Stones are just stones and rain is just rain and misfortune is just bad luck ~Anthony Doerr~


peace--

a rainstorm pound

pound pounding on

a roof that is

not mine,

rivulets running

into lakes

i do not

own,

water like

the moon and

scars not on my skins.

peace--

a chill in

the air that

stops before my soul,

noise of a crowd

that quiets at

a doorway,

the frenetic hustling

of fish

evading rain,

while i

stay dry

under this canopy,

within yet without

of this

raging storm

and with thet

knowledge that if

i stay here

forever

the rain will

never affect me.
