Breakthrough

Invariably our best nights were those when it rained. - Thoreau

I like the way it smells after a rain.

The ones that go all night.

Just before the clouds depart and the sun is sworn in.

Everything humbled.

Quietude incarnate out of respect and awe.

All made right again.

Starting anew.

Incapable of  betrayal and lies.

Because it has to be.

Washed truth.

A restoration of faith.

The way it was meant to be.

Like an addict, I can't get enough.

I inhale my fix.

Breathe my allotment.

Infuse my ration.

A miraculous dawn.

So I can continue on ...

Author's Note

"A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us." - Thoreau
