After the Storm

Sunlight,

wind,

children’s voices

in the alley.

Everything outside is

sharp and clear again,

a new lens with which to

look through and view

the silent green mountain

as close as my hand.

All the swollen grey clouds

blown off the surface of sky,

the wind’s breath really

a giant sigh of relief

to see blue again,

the promise that nothing

lasts forever-

not the rain,

not sorrow.
