"Lucidity"

 

Lucidity

 

Life’s rain has come again,

warmer this time,
but torrential in scope,

heavy and oppressive,

dark and near-endless,
a streaming veil to cover the light. 

No way to know

how long it will last,
unpredictable in nature,

erratic in intensity,

days of near-blackness
followed by mere moments of clarity.
