crying isn't secret, it's the art of how we grieve

When he turns away from me I can't help but feel like what I've said has been taken the wrong way and I've insulted him. I certainly did not mean to if that were the case, but he doesn't look angry. His stance is only that of a young colt beaten by grief. I feel drops falling across my shoulders and my back and so I look up to the sky. Rain drips from the leaves onto my face and I smile. "Father Earth is crying." I murmur. "Do you feel it?" He probably thinks I sound like a babbling idiot now, but I feel a sense of calm with the rain. I wonder if he feels it, too.

"Come on, let's get out of the rain."

My head drops down and I look back at Knox, and I think he looks calmer now. He closes his eyes and I look back up at the sky silently thanking the God of the Earth for his interlude. It was much needed for the both of us. "Okay." I say, taking a deep breath of the clean air before stepping closer to my new friend. He says he knows a place and I trust him just as my mother trusted his father.

I fall into step easily next to Knox in a comfortable silence that is only interrupted by the gentle pitter patter of rain and the distant rumble of thunder. It makes me smile again because I take it as the Earth God saying everything will be alright. My tail flicks from side to side, flinging droplets of water against Knox. I feel so much better now. Lighter. I hope Knox feels the same way soon.
