Falling for Autumn... Rainy Day (22)

There is a quiet, holy hush

that sweeps in with

a morning rain...

Fall has arrived

and in the midst

of all her glory,

she is drenched...

cleansed...

refreshed.

With the downpour outside,

comes a snuggling closer inside...

just a few minutes longer,

skin to skin

under the warmth

of piles of fabric.

As the rain covers the rooftop,

and splashes the windows,

there is a longing for

a washing of my soul.

The Autumn rains seem

to usher in the cold...

they soak up the bright

glory of the trees...

the leaves drowning

and browning

and fallen

to the ground.

 Who hasn't felt the

clinging grasp of the

"No, Not Yet!"

...Who doesn't -

at one point or another -

want a "Do Over"

... a Second Chance

to Shine...

But with the Rain

there is the struggle of

both worlds colliding.

The passing of the

grasping "No Not Yet"

and the longing for the

next "Second Chance."

...and just then,

with mug in hand,

and praise on lips,

the Sunshine breaks through!

(Day Reason 22 to

Fall for Autumn:

Rainy Days!)
