a painted word-picture
each drop breathed, a prayer,
speaking to each one of us
through our eyes, our memory,
words of love, of beauty,
an image grafted into our story
droplets of rain, transparent beads,
liquid glass, like melted sugar
brushed on each petal
like Jack Frost’s confection
in another time, a season
when blossoms do not exist
living flesh sprayed by the droplets
a repeating pattern, precision,
frozen for us in the image -
drink it all in, heavy with memory,
present, captured forever,
after a brief morning shower
