Poetry by Diana Raab
Life is scattered with storms—
emotions and weather
that have run wild.
After a seven-year drought
I finally see rain trickle
down my bedroom window
as I rejoice that our reservoirs
will fill. This also makes me think
about how often life flows,
when a swift storm hits our psyche:
while trees and debris clutter
our path, and then,
during our psychological
clean up we pave the way
for clarity to be followed
yet by another storm.
