Shower
passing rain showers-
steam rises from the asphalt
in the summer sun
–
soft patter-
august leaves
talk to the rain

Time
a rain-soaked highway-
the skeletal hand of fate
cuts another thread
–
trapped in amber-
mountains are as
grains of sand
Salty
seeing you again-
I add a touch of salt to
a long glass of rain
–
ocean spray-
saltwater
stings my lips
Passing
one flame extinguished
while another adds it’s light
to the firmament
–
eyes downcast-
black armbands
wet with rain
Calls
a thick veil of clouds-
the lullaby of crickets
sung beneath the rain
–
predawn fog-
a vixen’s cry
heralds the sun
Night
walking to the car
mercury vapor street lamps
spilling blue green light
–
drizzle-
moths dance
in the streetlights
Evening
ephemeral rain-
bird songs echo from the trees
in the fading light
–
twilight-
a grove
of amber
Mud
dark murky waters
dirt and debris stirred up from
raking the bottom
–
cold rain-
a dark past
muddied by truth
Light
a time of rebirth-
years spent living in the dark
rescued by your light
–
through the water
dancing reflections
from the surface
Seas
waiting for the sea-
an ancient mariner mourns
the arriving tide
–
bedraggled skies-
limp with rain over
an unkempt sea
