For my friend Suzan,
Out on my deck tonight, sipping whisky in a summer shower, I noticed that all of the lighting bugs had taken refuge in the woods, The trees with broad leaves providing them shelter from the rain. Hundreds of them displaying their soft glow, slowly ebbing out into the dark yard as the rain relinquished its steady flow to a soft, almost misty shower. I couldn't distinguish the deer in the woods but I could occasionally hear the soft wisp of a hove scrape dampened by the moist ground. The still night sporadically pierced by the shriek of an unseen bird rustled from it's perch for some cause or another. Hearing the rain descend on the leaves, pooling together, creating a crescendo of larger drops dripping from the leaves only to make a gentle thud when hitting the ground. Standing in the rain at night appears to be somewhat daft, however, what else should one do while imprisoned by the madness of ailing health. The night is as black as the sickness in my body and yet it yields many wonderful things. And just like the rain the sickness will eventually fade as its storm has done its damage and leaves me as I am. Am I a lightning rod, I think not. I am just a man, sipping whisky, in the rain, in has back yard, on his deck.
