Morning Storm

Photo by Wolfgang Hasselmann on Unsplash

it hailed this morning as I was crying — fast, angry pellets on my balcony

and as soon as it had begun, it stopped.

and I realized

that the sky…

sometimes she cries too.

sometimes it’s the soft, rolling type of grief.

sometimes it’s pouring and voracious.

this morning it was cold ice bullets bitter — screaming on rooftops and stinging skin.

but either way, the storm ends and from her tear puddles on the ground

with time, new life blooms.

what makes me think, that I won’t too?
