don't stop

it's raining hard
grass is so green
everything else is shiny gray
look again
everything else is silver
fat jewels coming down hard
I don't want to watch tv
I don't want to read
I don't want to exercise
I don't want the rain to stop
I want to hold my breath
and freeze
and nothing gets better
and nothing gets worse
but I can hear the drops hitting
rapidly, machine gun like
how can rain keep up such a pace?
it just does
I can't hold my breath this long
I inhale and exhale again
trying to keep calm during this silver storm
can't shake the feeling
can't deny the fact
everything will get better,
everything will get worse
no doubt, definitely, for sure
just like I know the rain will stop
and it will be sunny again
