RAIN MOOD
November 1999

I am the heartbeat of the falling rain,
recalling sharp-edged images
that sing yellow umbrellas
and breathe wet wool
and walk in puddles
and taste transient, primeval, earth-fresh air
and remember in a million shiny greens and soft, soft greys.

I am the essence of the rain,
abubble and awash with summer coolness
in a rain-grey sky.

I understand
that I do not understand
my struggle
to contain
an unexplored
and unborn
mystic exhilaration.

I am the rain.

Let the rain come and envelope us in its wet cocoon of liquid pleasure. Uh, yeah, I like rain also. I wonder if my oldest daughter knows that, and that is why she changed her name from Paula Jean to Candence Rain?
