Beauteous, feline and very feminine

The rain, from a distance, 
Grey lines hinting existence, 
Falling on faces of jagged risen earth, 
A moment to remember; worth, 
As the mist looks lovely on the mountains today.

Flows strongly through four

My Daily Depression
(3/20/2019)

And black too
I wonder what it’s going to be like

Would we still believe in...
