The Romance of The Rainstorm
A Night Out in April
a-person-crossing-the-road-on-a-rainy-day-10398361
Regular rain drove her to the place
To meet the men from her past life
They met in the bar, drinking, toasting, laughing
During delicious dinner flashes of lightning lit up the lead framed windows
Framed by warm, antique bricks
And the past crept further away
New men carried umbrellas over her stark silver curls
As she walked into the torrential downpour under thunderous lit up skies
For a treacherous drive down from the mountain
Into the horse valley below
Ending with being warm and safe at home
