The world is wet today
luxurious, damp, drenched
drops hug the leaves,
anoint the still budded lilac blossoms;
Before their blooming
rich purple and plum
made richer by their watery skin
New leaves under the weight.
Droplets heavy, hanging
bowing the white pine needles
undersides exposed to drink
to drink in the morning.
Hushed in the rain, reverent,
temperature near the dew point
sprouts of just planted flowers
eager from the parched soil;
New puddles bloom too
on the ground, the driveway
collect and gather the water
without the smell of summer rain yet.
Tears splash and spread, outward,
silent shimmers, heralds, messengers
in the spring rain, the ripples
the puddles behind the house.
