I've been waiting for rain
The forecast the last few days
has been overwhelming
with 50 60 100 percent chance for rain
It came all around us
But not at my house
There was sunshine everywhere
but i stayed inside
sure that the rain would come
and I was safe inside these walls
Last night, I stopped waiting
I have been waiting for the answer to a question
One I have been waiting for all month
In someways, the waiting has crippled me
unable to make plans
or move forward
expecting some outward
other world to make decisions for me
so I made plans for today
To run outside
play in the creek
shop for no reason
buy a new color for my wardrobe
or try one more time to make an omelette
without burning it
I decided to quit waiting
for something
that might not happen
and
I woke up to thunder
and pouring rain
