Last Night...

Last night in a dream it rained.
Came down in buckets.
All through the night.
Washing the pavement
and things that creep in the grass
things that creep through my soul.
Fear, anxiety, doubt.
Then,
I awoke with a start.
Panting.
Sat upright.
It was raining.
The sound of it
as it pelted windows
made me remember
and it was beautiful.
