Stormy Night

The steam rises from my tea

The candles on the table flickering with my breath

The evening darker than normal

The storm shutting out any lingering sun

The raincoat dripping water steadily

The little storm I let follow me inside

The mystery of my heart on my mind again

The thought of him flowing through my mind

The jars of thoughts in my mind get shoved away

The rain calling for me to leave those thoughts behind
