now that the storm has cleared
the ground
is still
damp.
wet.
slippery.
my umbrella
has not lost
its form.
the sun still
shines.
glistens.
it is slowly drying
the ground.
i cannot
let myself cause
another
storm.
i cannot let
the rain
destroy
my garden
once more.
tomorrow is
not
guaranteed.
the sun is
not
guaranteed.
i will not
take
the sun
for
granted.
as long as
the ground
is
drying,
as long as
i don't cause
anymore
reckless,
thoughtless,
destruction,
i
will be
happy
and
the sun will
still
shine.
