Liquid Play

there was laughter
in the rain drops
and colors dripped
to every hue
of the spectrum
taste had the flavor
of urgency to come
as it dizzy danced
silently on my lips
I did not search for them
yet they sought me out
as wind changed
the direction of these
sequins in air
twirling in their play

"I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish and I'm sad."
— Joni Mitchell

"Liquid play" of the senses sharing in the beauty of nature's dance.

Very captivating.

Love,

I have to like rain living here, but I will never look at it again the same way, sequins indeed I am rusting up here!
