An explosion in the sky and rain thunders down
harsh and fierce, pounding, in the middle of May
unexpected like a wave from a stranger’s hand
or a gift from a son on St. Valentine’s day.

Delayed reactions, windows, doors, run before the fall,
no water, hail, on my parade to wash emotion out
and remove the stain and residue of a certainty  
so long contained within life’s long walk about.  

But the porthole to reality opens in spite of me
and water rushes in like a torrent sent from hell
and I’m sure I saw a spider spinning a massive web
from corner to corner - but who can really tell?

Maybe just a dream, a feeling, or belief,
swinging in the breeze of this really cannot be
or a clock calling “time” on reclamation
of confidence and faith in a far-fetched scheme.

There’s water on the floor, it’s been there before,
but June brings survival after mid-May rainfalls!

Yes...soon...the summer heat will return.
Much enjoyed the read.
Hugs~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain~
