it rained today by Kamau Nosakhere

It rained today
I felt gray today
Not a sad gray
Just simply a gray

It was cold
Not uncomfortable
Just cold
Both sides of the pillow
I had long pants, cool sheets

The sound was nice
The water hitting my roof
The grumble of the thunder
Calming relaxing

Outside procellous, blocking out the sun
I sit shrouded in the darkness of my room
Within the solemn, secluded, serenity
I found solace
