Drops of water free fall to the Earth
Racing their brothers and sisters
Hurrying in their plummet to the ground.
This simple beauty called Rain.
The dry dirt soaks them in, eager
Until roots are bathed in the Sky’s tears
Joyful or sad, I dare not ask the Clouds.
This simple beauty called Rain.
A beat forms as Thunder growls across the grey
Lightning flashes, forks of searing hot converge
And here, I dance barefoot in the mud, because of
This simple beauty called Rain.
Moonlight dances on stilled waters
gracefully covering mossy shores.
Trees watch in stoic silence,
Like Statues guarding Nature’s Secrets.
Footsteps break the calming night,
Approaching the clear lake in awe.
In ethereal beauty, she stands barefoot,
A nymph whose wings glitter brighter than stars.
Her emerald eyes shimmer with promise
A siren’s voice sounds in the distance.
Light as air, she moves upon the water,
Finding her place in the night’s music.
Patterns form on the surface around her,
Chaotic and Beautiful under the Moon’s gaze.
Wings flutter in softened shadows
Lifting the nymph higher just to free fall.
The space is filled by her glowing prescence
Though she vanishes amongst the trees
Like an unformed thought is swallowed by the mind.
Removed from sight, the fireflies fade away,
A closing curtain on something unseen
And yet I know it was more than a dream.
