The Shimmer of the Rain – v3

The afternoon changing

the sound of the water

crashing, crescendo,

the shimmer of the rain

ringing in my ears

Sheets, curtains of the cloudburst

filtered into my thinking

pulling me to the sound

hearing the dance of the shower

from the sky onto the dry ground

The Shimmer of the Rain – v2

The afternoon changing

the sound of the water

crashing, crescendo,

the shimmer of the rain

ringing in my ears

sheets, curtains of the shower

filtered into my thinking

pulling me to the sound

hearing the dance of the moisture

from the sky to the dry ground

A Robin’s Egg Darker than Robin’s-Egg Blue

A deeper hue
darker and soothing
more like aqua or teal
the robin’s egg on the ground
noticed while I was mowing
set off against the earth
the lush green grass

A robin’s egg darker
than robin’s-egg blue
something amazing
a bit of wonder
magic in that moment
a bit of grace
poured out on me
