As she stepped outside
A drop fell,
A refreshing chill on her face.
The cool mist subdued
The summer warmth.
She held his hand as they
Neared the car,
But as the rain started down
She let go,
Giggled, and shook her sandals off.
She let her hair down
And spread her arms
Twirling in the shower,
Carefree.
She jumped from
Puddle to puddle
Never missing one step.
Splashing her inner
Child to freedom.
Thunder and a bolt of light.
He caught her arm
Just before she fell,
Held her close,
And they danced;
Moving to the
Symphony of a summer storm.
