As the tiny lavenders ruffle,
To the brush of my palms.
Little grasshoppers run
Awry and birds flutter their
Wings in a hurry.
Across the horizon, the clouds,
As they gather and bring
Upon the blessings of rain.
It occurs to me..
Right here. Right now.
How I could just melt away,
Dissolve in the rain, and
Run down the muddy stream,
Flow through the city,
Join a river and then the sea.
Swim along the coastal shelf,
Mock them little fishes and
Freeze off to the dread of sharks.
It occurs to me, how beauty
And feeble gestures of nature,
Fills these hollow spaces in us..
Soften our edges to make us
Aware of our own existence,
Individuality and imagination.
