Cold Rain

BY Laura Staley

Running

Breathing

Layers

Legs tingling

❖

Core covered

Face red

Gloved hands

Warm

❖

Wind blows

Intensifies

Sweat cold

Clinging

❖

Seeping through

Layers of skin

Resting on

The bark of

Bones

❖

Mist on

Mountains

Shining With

Water

Leaves flattened

In a splattering of

Red, deep red,

Eggplant, yellow, gold and rusty orange

❖

The leaves all belong

None takes another

For granted or wishes another harm

They form a blanket,

A rich, diverse tapestry

Nestling the earth, soil,

Puddles and birdbaths.

❖

May people be like leaves

Forming a human quilt

Of loving kindness,

Dignity, respect

A warm embrace

For all that is

Sacred and

Moving in the

Cold rain.
