Dreary Morning: A Poem

After month’s of heat, the rain finally came

clouds have darkened and tempertatures dropping

Life in Texas, heat or flooding

Pick your poison

I’m thankful for the rain, but would like somewhere in between

I’m too old for the heat, and the rain is slick

but I like the darkness, the atmosphere

Love it and hate it, at the same time

Which way to go

At least my head isn’t covered in sweat

Winter weather is just wet

Mud on my shoes

Can’t even decorate

But at least it isn’t so hot

The world is on fire

But the rains came to put it out

For that I am thankful
