Receding Shimmer
May 20, 2013
Being at peace is the rhythm of raindrops,
repetitive and steady.
The wind lightly pounding
the drops against the side panels.
It lulls every being to
a chilly hush, but
with one crack of thunder,
and a flash of lightning, an
outline of a person’s face appears,
slowly pushing its way into a recollection
of a contorted childhood. Flooding
in with the now pouring
rain relentlessly crashing into the house.
Disturbing the fond serenity and
replacing it with
a chaotic rush
of buried short films
in a never ending cycle
of forgive and can’t forget.
