DRIVING HOME IN THE COLD RAIN
OVERNIGHT AUTUMN RAIN, JAMESTOWN, NC
Columnar
rays of the setting sun reflect ice crystals in thin wispy cirrus clouds,
giving way to early darkness that now follows us home in the shadows. A cold October rain and
bitter wind brings down spiraling autumn leaves overnight. The harsh sound of intermittent
tapping on a window pane disturbs the subconscious to restless sleep.
And
the chilly anticipation of that first freeze as we awaken in the faint light of
a frosty morning evokes a slow shudder throughout the body.
P.S.
Dedicated to the event of my 80th trip around the sun.
