Respite On A Rainy Day

Gonna take sometime to rest today Ride the waterfall week all the way down Splash about in the white gloved pages Of my favorite book I don't think I'll cook And care not to watch the clock Just sit and sip some coffee Remember I've forgotten nothing left to do Let my breathing match the rhythm of the rain Today, a better day than I had planned Glad it ended up this way My old gray cat content and fed Lays his head upon my feet I saw a stranger smile at me From a red light stop with such sincerity That I figured it was best to just smile back And listen to my heart beat to the rhythm of the rain I'm whole again, home again With sweet empty baggage A train in the distance whistles in my mind Such calm to find As I sing along to the rhythm of the rain
