The rain is welcome
and the damp breeze is welcome
and the coziness inside the house
is welcome
Time to let the rivulets of life
seep, welcome, into the soil,
time to reinforce the roots
with life connections
Time for design, time for welcoming friends,
time for mending sweaters, making food,
time for preparing
for our next venture to the land,
time for gratitude.
