Own Small Comforts

The tropical storm moves closer
Brings wind and choppy seas
From my window it's a gray mass
But ride out the storm with me

Trapped in total isolation
All alone in my pain
Even the joy of the Seagull
Disappears with falling rain

The rain brings it own small comforts
Water to make things green
Clouds to hold sun's thermometer
Time alone to daydream

Beautifully done my friend and congratulations...This makes me wonder which storm it was...Was it Issac last summer? Of course it was a hurricane when it hit us...Severe flooding and no power for a week...I have written quite a few poems about the hurricanes I have experienced if you would care to check them out - Tim

Yes, as you say - rain can lead to cozy evenings but sometimes things get out of hand as they recently did with Sandy where I live. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
