On the window, against a stone grey day, the rain.
\nWatching the view change, dissolve and return.
\nThe church in the distance, a reminder of yesterday.
\nHere in another room, cosy, cosseted against the weather.<\/p>\n
Warmth, from an un-open fire.
\nSat at the window, back to the home.
\nI\u2019m there with you, this now is complete.
\nNo missing part, just us and a view of the rain.<\/p>\n
I only wish I could share this, help you
\nunderstand why I get this way. Nostalgic,
\nmaybe, but more a sensation I’ve long known.
\nIn its stead I can only offer time, and silence.<\/p>\n
Alone, together, in thoughts of places,
\nwhere the view may be different,
\nbut the feeling\u2019s the same. I am there again,
\nwatching the rain. It comes in harder now.<\/p>\n
Still, no need to move, no need for activity.
\nNo need for a book, nor a cup of tea.
\nJust you, the rain, and the grey view,
\nand a seat to watch the window run.<\/p>\n
Normally Devon, sometimes Wales, not yet Cornwall.
\nOutside, the wet granite comforts against change,
\nreassures, and, maybe a cup of tea then.
\nEntertainment is not needed, instead a meditation drawn
\nsoftly, with sound now, hard against the pane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
