Liquid Summit

I am soothed by the rain-drops on the door-sill; every globule that pitches thus confidently from the eaves to the ground is my life insurance. - Thoreau

sometimes it needs to pour

to wash away sorrows

to pay back what sadness borrows

to lift spirits

like liquid kilamonjaros

Author's Note

"Nature makes no noise. The howling storm, the rustling leaf, the pattering rain are no disturbance, there is an essential and unexplored harmony in them." - Thoreau
