On the eve of the eve of another new
year I am out and about, I am not sure why.
Maybe it is the turmoil within me that I am
not able to understand.
As I stand on a street corner and watch
the rain, each drop catches the glow from the
street light and dances as the crystals in a
chandelier – showing me that even on a cold
wet night there is beauty to be found. Yet
the free fall that is going on in my life is
like the rain not allowed to share the light –
something there unseen just outside the
glow no less in its beauty just hidden in
the dark.
There is something in this night of watching
the rain in its cold beauty that has shown
me the totality of my heart and soul. I am
able to see beauty and feel its power in my
life yet now know that my heart and soul will
remain as the rain outside the light – capable
of shining like the crystals in the chandelier,
yet not able to step into light, thus continuing the
free fall into the cold dark void that now is my life.
