Purdah Precipitation

Purdah Precipitation  
(Twenty-Five  of 30 -- Official DUP NaPo/GloPoWrimo 2019)
 
Ever notice how soothing falling rain  
is when you’re lonely or merely alone?
 
Sharing comes easy with the precips
no one to make promises not to tell
and hiding behind the dark clouds is  
always allowed.
 
Sometimes I might cover myself  
with rolls of thunder lightning my way
when my path appears unclear.
 
I can never imagine ever being fearful
of the rain accompanied by storm clouds
rolling thunder, claps of lightning,  
and the occasional strong wind.
I’ve always associated rain with healing
and cleansing.
 
I don’t believe an umbrella or raincoat
can do for my alone-ness  
what a good cleansing rain  can do for me
as I go for a walk in it.
