	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.
