Giving meaning to things.
Chasing rains to feel the grit
Of water between fingers.
The texture of air on the skin as it
Passes in the evening and
The threads of mellow sunshine
On the face in winter mornings.
Painting those mountains in the flesh
And taking up a long trek to
Hug them for just being there with
Their gigantic elegance.
Imagining the slow flow of
A river as our own thump of blood
And assuring it a safe journey
Back home.
Autumn's assault had just ended
And the spring had regained
Access to the lush greens.
The clouds rose in heaps to
Look themselves up in
The mirroring lake.
Thinking the earth is finally
Ready for a date.
The love language of nature
Lay in the inevitability of
Rain.
