Sways

rain falls
I won’t let go
the grass sways

Burst

raindrops
hold the world
and burst

Those moments right after there rain stops are among my favorite. There’s still that slight tapping of drops falling from where they landed in the trees and broken rays of sun as the clouds clear. Everything is new and clean and beautiful.

Mountainside

a deep breath
clouds curl and sweep
the mountainside

Empty

broken petals
rain slips through
the empty space

Tremble

the storm calms
raindrops cling to petals
and tremble
