fire beats rain

moved out of the rain
hoping it won’t quickly
smother my fire
hot enough to withstand
first wave of light
rain but now it’s soaking
everything around
but dry where I sit
perched above under a small
roof can perfectly view
the fire from a distance
watch it fight the elements
and survive despite the wet
blanket falling fast
thankful for the day
the food and especially
the family I am a part of
thankful for my health
and security where I
rest my mind and body
recharges for the days ahead
left behind all the footprints
won’t ever retrace some steps
but might create a path
when I get comfortable...
