its raining outside!

its raining outside...
-a changed weather;
what was crisp nd warm till yesterday,
is now damp nd cold,

its raining outside...
i'm in my cocoon
presumably safe frm the chilling effects
sounds of the patter reach me nevertheless,

its raining outside...
a stir within...
in some dark corner hard to locate...
it was dark always, but its darker today...

its raining outside...
a flower died before it could bloom
the rains had to come; only they came too soon
and there was no place to hide...

its raining outside...
8:30 in the evening....
time to have dinner..
down there in another mess...

its raining outside...
yes its still raining outside!
