Rain showers sprinkle
my bare skin,
while the trees sway
from side to side,
like my thoughts,
drifting as the wind blows.
Stress fills the vacant
spots in my mind–
adding pressure,
where it’s not needed
And yet, the breeze
serves as my therapy
on this chilly evening–
where the promise of Fall
lingers in the air.
