January 22, 2021 - “The Rain is Sitting Still” - Elizabeth Lerman.

The rain is sitting still, hovering in the air and existing without action.
Not falling, not pouring, not racing to reach the ground, just here,
in the space between, making me feel like I can touch the wind, and that
it can touch me back, leaving mist on my skin and a storm in the sky.
For one small moment, as gray blooms around me and blurs all the beyond,
I am certain the clouds are mountains.
