Reading on a Rainy Day
There are no expectations
when rain beads
on the window pane.
Nothing can be done for the day.
Housework cannot be done
nor is socializing expected.
The rain keeps responsibilities away.
So reading loses all guilt
and just becomes a pleasure.
Lost in worlds of words for hours while gray weather keeps the world at bay.
Just enjoying a moment apart from it all,
while reading on a rainy day.
