some days are rain

some days are rain 

clouds too heavy to drift by 

stop and weep wary 

of what’s ahead and we stay in

and watch water pool and saturate 

wellsprings of hope 

for yesterday was drought 

and today is flood no 

easy middle ground to 

tread lightly on for 

we have driven our monster trucks on 

pathways of care kicking up 

dust and mud 

some days are rain
