The Present Moment Belongs to You

For better or for worse, you decide

Rain is pouring down The sky has had a rough time It can’t stop crying Bawling into tears

Writing all alone With no one to share your thoughts Silence was once here Muttered by the sudden storm

With this gloomy day You are still thankful

The grass is quenching its thirst The trees are flowing in unison with the wind

You are contemplating Alone time is what you needed

To be alone with your reflections To be surrounded by the hush of the wind The dripping of the rain The sounds of nature

The time being Is what you needed Time you didn’t even knew was important Important to organize your storm of thoughts

This poem was inspired by the prompt made by Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她).

I would like to tag other TBIN writers, I hope you also decide to join in on this prompt!
