the end of the rain-
I pull back layers of clouds
to reveal the stars
–
petrichor-
storm clouds
in a puddle
Category: Rain
Sunlight
a warm rain ended-
softened sunlight drizzles down
to the forest floor
–
dawn breaks-
sunlight arrives
unannounced
Return
ripples on ripples-
the pond’s once glassy surface
welcomes back the rain
–
a forest lea-
the doe and her fawn
return to the wood
Disaster
horizontal rain-
fractured palms and broken dreams
tumble down the street
–
dark greasy smoke-
The sky lit
by falling embers
Moving
an early March snow-
past time for pulling up roots
and moving along
–
stinging rain-
I return to find
an empty home
Melt
late winter garden-
a calico patchwork of
leaves and melting snow
–
a hollow log-
rain falls
on melting ice
Ice
a walk in the woods-
the ice covered snow crunching
underneath my boots
–
freezing rain-
my nerves
tested
Stone
so many evenings
spent in stony solitude
with yet without you
–
rain etched stones-
the once neat path
overgrown
Weather
a cold rain falling-
trying to stay warm with tales
of wine and whiskey
–
white mountains-
caribou freeze
at a cracking branch
Bows
cloudless starlit skies-
a pale white moonbow appears
above the aspen
–
double rainbow-
a gracious gift
after the storm
