RAINY DAY

The rain settled in,
Becoming the soundtrack to
My afternoon,

Everything slowed down
To accommodate its tempo,

I worked the crossword,
Barely lifting my pen
Before moving to the next clue,

My brain lulled into
A placid trance,
I barely glanced at the time,
Not inclined to worry or care,

The clock ticked, the cat yawned and stretched,
I fetched a cup of tea
While the rain kept up a steady beat,

My daydreams turned to distant shores
And hidden doors
I explored
While nestled
In a comfy chair,

And still the rain came down.
