The rain is singing to me. I do my best to isolate each drop as it pummels then caresses the near window. I am the secret admirer of the rain, but shush, don't spoil it. We were laughter tonight as we are every Christmas celebration. A lonely Christmas will be my title for later today, since everyone is always doing something, including my family. I'll find something relevant to do, I always do. I'll find somebody to swap words with, I always do. I'll monitor your existence, I always do.

something sour...

You choke on your words too much and you hate it. Enough for for me to realize your hesitation gets the best of you. You're too quiet. Silence is louder than you. Your words use to set me on fire, and I used to inhale the fumes. Yet you've grown cold. And I have withered you through my obsessions. You're empty now. I used to want to embrace you like Longfellow's own; but you left me no choice but to scream diatribes from the inside of your head. So thank you for the hospitality, it's quite roomy once you feng shui the leeches. 

something sweet...

and to you, a child, my niece, Taleiya. You're a princess, though you won't take the title and you're humble at 4 years; I Love You with every ounce of my being. December 26th is near, your 5th birthday. The sheer joy on your face and your excitement brings the most genuine smiles out of all of us and reminds us to acknowledge everything and everyone with admiration and reverence. Happy Birthday to you<3
