The Rainy Season is Over

I have squeezed the last droplet
of the season from my eyes. My heart
has seen enough of darkness, of the cold gust.

I long to see blue skies stretched widest,
warm sunshine on the skin, and a gentle wind
in my face under the shade of a mango tree.

Your good-bye brought heavy rains
to the sanctuary of this heart,
now filled with leaks, their drips taxing my ears.

But the rainy season is over. I don't have
to keep watching for your rain clouds.
