Clearing

One last little clearing downpour.

Clearing

11/5/11

Cycles come around

Summer to Fall,

rains invite growth

clean dusty surfaces

as cold grips

contents of room,

intruding from outside

with sun blocked

by sky culprits

in cloud conspiracy,

fire in wood

is released now

overpowering the chill

that's closed inside,

stories held leave

through open door

of expanding heart

creating clearing space.
