After The Rain

For days I rained

Outside her window

She listened 

To the raindrops

As they trickled all around her

She heard the tapping on her roof

The pitter patter in her attic

The freefall from her gutters

She listened to it all

She felt the rain upon her skin

When her umbrella wouldn't suffice

Each drop carried prominence

And when the rain dissipated

The clouds cleared

And the air crisped

I realized everything

I needed did exist
