Out In the Rain

Out in the rain the restless winds now moan as winter's pale rescinds. The flowers at the window bay are silent bells that stiffly sway while marching on the roof begins, a riot of a billion pins that shatter all my disciplines. I clasp my hands as if to pray out in the rain. I feel the breath of pardoned sins; on tenterhooks this mid-March grins its unborn promise. I'm away to spread my arms in gleeful splay and echo tales this cloudburst spins out in the rain. 3/12/18
