cold, rainy saturday

rain falling outside my window pane
glass fogged on the inside
outside tiny drops of water race each other to the bottom of the pane
as though they were competing in a nationally televised sporting event

i must be bored because i found myself cheering on
the one in the middle…the smallest one
he lost…came in dead last
maybe next time, buddy

it’s cold outside…not really cold
it just looks cold
cloudy, gray, with a hint of depression in the air
i shiver…maybe the sun will shine tomorrow

turning up the heater may help
a hot cup of coffee may do the trick
I think I will light a fire…the crackling sound always
chases away the blues…and i like the smell

winter is slowly conquering the world outside
home decorated for christmas on the inside
children all excited to hear the weather forecast
snow almost certain on monday…cheers

outside cars wiz by plowing the thin layer of water on the street
listening to music inside… micheal buble
“cause you are not alone, i’m always there with you”
funny how music can warm the heart and comfort the mind

even on a cold, rainy saturday
