Rain falling

   softly drumming

   on the roof

in sync

   with

      my beating heart.

 

Lightning

     flashing

   cross the sky

Thunder rumbling

    in the distance

 

Still holding on

    at my heart’s insistence.

 

Stars twinkling 

    in the clearing night

Moon reflecting

     tears in my eyes.

 

Letting go

    though my heart’s

          resistant.
