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

I Speed The road Eaten up Roaring it’s delight As I ride Hard and wild Unadulterated pleasure Shown by An inviting Tongue Laying out Further With every Petal’s push Desiring me To bear down Welcoming Into every Corner And switchback All thoughts Of what Might happen Left many Miles behind Focusing on the Road right…
