       there are joyful seeds

       planted

       before the rain.

        

       and I sit

       in wonder

       of joy

        

       while all I can do

       is smell the storm.

        

       I understand

       rain feeds growth

        

       But,

       I cannot find the place

       in me that

       knows this.

        

       I struggle to know.

        

       And,

       I know

       that if I would only

       cease the struggle,

       the knowing would follow.
