Windows awash, waterfall mind drifting <br />To long-ago times, warding off more tears <br />She stayed out of sight hoping mood lifted <br />Before day was done. Like raindrops, she <br />Fearing the coming night, let wet dry, chased <br />Away salt from her face and weeping stopped <br /> <br />This mind-set must cease, shoulders be shaken <br />And braced, this would not do, she adopted <br />A new braver smile. He was away now.... <br />So many months were to pass before hope <br />Could begin and he be home again, - frowning <br />She looked out at rain, and started to cope <br />With the wait. Together they'd make it, - love <br />Never minds either distance or time, proving <br />Rainy-day mind-sets can be risen above.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rainy-day-mindset/
