Jeweled sunstones in the air.
Horizon mirrors reflect refreshment.
Quicksilver cloudhead, falling.

The slowbreathing murmur of storm.
Sweet smell rising to become the clouds.
Themselves to broken pavement.
Rain blossoms starting to fall.

Suspended just above me
Like invisible ghosts of steam
Mixed with rainswollen glass.
Sparking, alone, near me.

Then the final first rush
As rain slaps through the sky
To lift the ground from its heat haze

I felt part of it all.

This piece threatened to pour...an excellent piece of poetry, my friend. Everything worked.
