Dancing in the Rain
A slow pattering
Little drops
On a canvas white
Their mesmerizing
Lusciousness
To my brain
Exuding rest
Peacefulness
Slower breathing
Bringing up
The rear
The smell
Wafts into
My brain
A little dirt
Mixed with
A sweetness
Met with
An exuberance
For new life
Springing forward
In the months
To come
Let it rain
My soul
Dancing
In the rain

Heat meets heat Steam on steam Melded together In rhythmic play The drums beat on Fingers their tool Pounding harder Thumping louder Crescendo-ing In mutual triumph Intoxication Rick Ellsmore 12.27.18
