I fell asleep to the rain today
and felt all the seasons wrapped into one.
I decided to consider my pain today
and realize the reason for the sun.
I can't say that I wasn't aware
while in that state of dream.
Heavy water vapor that hung in the room there
made it hotter than it would seem.
The cool breeze flew from screen to screen
as I slept in that way for a while.
I dreampt of places I could have been
and of a certain child.
Who was this child I seemed to see?
What was it doing in my mind?
Was I dreaming of a little me
or a person I've yet to find?
I lay on the couch and heard the rainfall
as the sun hid away in the sky.
All else was still as I took in it all;
alone with my thoughts I did lie.
And around the world there were people like me
in the in-between of dream and wake
having their moment of serenity
before their world begins to shake.
I was grateful for the rain today,
grateful that I could sleep in.
There won't be many more days like this left
before the journey begins.
Author notes
This morning I fell back asleep in my living room before anybody else was up. With the summer rain and the breeze and my dreaming, I thought it was too much of an inspiring experience not to write about, even if it's just some thoughts of mine. I hope you enjoy.

Ah, very finely done poem, indeed! I especially liked the use, in the frist stanza, of the two word rhyme "pain today" "rain today" which is so seldom used any more. bravo... bravo... bravo...
