Santa Barbara Rain

We drive to Santa Barbara.

Despite the heavy rain.

And afternoon appointments.

And the others in our lives.

What are we seeking?

What are we thinking?

I cannot see the road.

Only your voice to guide me.

The quick touch of your hand to reassure me.

How easily I get lost.
