OF RAIN AND AIR

All day I have been closed up
inside rooms, speaking of trivial
matters. Now at last I have come out
into the night, myself a center

of darkness.
Beneath the clouds the low sky glows
with scattered light. I can hardly think
this is happening. Here in this bright absence

of day, I feel myself opening out
with contentment.
All around me the soft rain is whispering
of thousands of feet of air

invisible above us.

    For some reason the link on the map story isn't working but I heard about the woman suing about the maps. A fine example of taking responsibility for one's own life, eh? Nice poem.

    Max... Link works fine on mine, but I posted it here too.

    Yes, nice poem. I have been there, in that place. Stepping outside from bustle and self-important trivia, and looking up into the vastness, into the universe.
