It comes all at once 
A companion to contemplation
Displacing the quiet stillness
With a sudden fury
That rattles the windows
And hammers the roof;
Beyond ideas and dreams
And desires and wants
In case you had forgotten
The great world competes
With all the other things
That demand attention
Though tempted
By coy distractions
And insistent chatter
This fierce rain
Reminds the senses
and announces
not that it exists
But that you do.
