Late night hours, I can’t seem to find sleep as my bones ache. The #crispness of winter air serves as a reminder that you’re not here. I write love letters to you like a scientist sending signals to alien planets in hopes that one day you’ll reply. #amwriting #vss365 #poetry

I thought I’d share it with all of you. ‘Why I Pray For Rain’ is a poem I wrote several years ago, a personal favorite, and was one of my most read poems on various platforms. I hope you enjoy.
