It rained today,
The first rain in forever.
It smelled nice;
A great wet sigh of relief
I didn't miss it until today-
When the raw thunder rolled over my back
And down my pinkened cheeks
When the crisp grass softened
And mists poured thickly through the rippling trees
That pulls over the sky like white sheets
Tucking us in to the earth; soft and small and damp and sweet
But maybe tonight, the pattering tap
Will pull me so softly
To sleep
