5.18.14

The smells of earth, air, and water combine -

     Here comes the rain.

Here it arpeggio-drops

          along my path.

The first few drips, I see them,

          but blink

     As they tap my face, surprise me.

Their mother-cloud sails

          far above me as

These raindrops multiply,

          and   divide   the   sky -

They are static

Beautifully interrupting my space.

Liquid crystals shattering

          upon reaching air's boundaries.

Their multi-layered music compels

          my breath to slow,

          my heart to rest.

And now I'll soak in it,

And soak it all in.
