this rain

I need to hear this rain

this explosion of thunder

turning over in the clouds

silver light

earth drenched

with this music going out to sea

my thirsty garden

receives the sky's echoing song

gifting me the lengths of the earth

this cascade of water striking the earth

this whisper spilling out on to my skin

my skin begging for more...
