Rain blurs my windows
melting color into color,
green grass merging
to luxuriant red blooms.
Golden leaves
fly wildly to the grass
and make of the lawn
a mottled carpet,
waiting for a brighter day
when my rake will scrape
them all into tall, brittle piles.
But today is a good day
to stay inside,
warm and dry.
