An Important Stroll in The Rain

The weather looks upsetting, umbrella over my head

headed somewhere important to me.

Pants soaked, socks soggy and sleeves tugged up

to cover frozen fingers, fiddling to hold on.

Headed to see someone important to me

because buckets of heavy rain won’t

steer me the other way. It is true that

these treks through tough weather don’t stop me

from getting something important to me.
