Rain Dances with Words
I listen
as the Thunder rolls
in the mountains
all around me.
Does it foretell of rain?
I contemplate
joined by the sky hazy,
full of sunlight,
authentic in it’s brightness.
the air heavy,
sitting all around me,
too close for comfort.
At once!
the winds blow in
drawing the Thunder with them
and a hint of relief.
The Thunder e c h o e s
laughing
amongst the treetops.
singing
of the quenching it might bring.
We hear your song,
We, the caretakers and parched denizens of this land,
We call you on…
and she listened too
for tease me not.
The rain
came
it did
and you were there,
in the Cedars and Queen Anne’s Lace.
How I miss you.
The rain from my eyes too
came
slow
and
steady…
pouring
down
my
cheeks.
