On a rainy day


On a rainy day as we have today, 
a grey pall of moisture-laden air
the sky dark
cries
the winds blow around the block
the movements of thought we create
all day whistle 
harsh
no answer found within the lines
waxen and solemnly invisible
words
and so the dove flies back to its Arch
as do light-mantled sooties return
to their nests
beyond
hugging the cliff face not wrecked
but calm before the precipice
and then swing back
to the stillness
--of my heart!
