Mourning

The raindrops fell in waves
Sometimes gentle spaced by time
Othertimes drenching downpours
So overwhelming as to block
The view across the street.
The water so thick, the road ahead
Seemed blurry and dark.
Mental windshield wipers
Delayed, continuous, high speed
Flapping to restore normalcy
Removing the salty symptoms of
Unwanted weather from public view.
But once overwhelmed, it seemed best
To turn them off and wait out the storm.
