solstice

Well,
It looks like rain –
Looks like the world
Can be as new,
Again.


Falling,
And creating
Quiet earthquakes
Upon the ground.
Waiting.

Running,
Far from something –
It hides beneath
The grateful soil,
Sleeping.

Softly,
Caress my skin.
Teach me, somehow –
Silently, creep
In.

Well,
It looks like rain –
Looks like this world
Can be as new,
Again.
