I open the windows when it rains
I watch the sky drown the earth the same way the pain of missing you drowns my soul
I smell the wet soil and think of home
of the way the mountains smell in April
of how the beach smells after a storm
With the waves crashing into droplets on the cities edge
I'm not religious but I pray that if I leave the windows open during the storm a droplet from Seattle will find it's way to me in the desert
One with salt from the Pacific and sap from the pines
I pray for a droplet from your home to find it's way into mine
