Rain

Smell of earth; Teasing, tantalising;
Grey day, green grass, outlines blurring;

Orange streetlights; darkened daytime;
Anticipation runs subtly sublime;

Tender trickles, down the face;
Droplets rest, the lips are glaced.

Silence broken; rhythmn permeating;
Steady beats reverberating;

Frenzied showers, sting and soothe;
No colour of rain; Mere blinded hues;

Drums of thunder roll on by
Lightning breaks an even sky

The moment passes, sensations cease;
Touched, imbued, cleansed, released.
