The rain is coming down in torrents; the air is so cold for May.

This May.

I’m by myself, just rising long after the hiding sun.
The rain is coming down in torrents while the wind is tearing through blossoming trees carrying their contents.
The petals in the wind are sailing like cast away ships before my eyes.

It’s so cold for May.
This May.

Stuck inside, watching mother nature move to check mate over us all, over our plans.
Unfolding her majesty and might, keeping us stuck inside, left to watching her world fight.

    Who doesn’t secretly thrill to the touch of that kind of rain?
    Sweeping all pink petals in ist soaking path…
    and lighting floral candles down the road.

      Yes!!!!! Love it John!
      Sweeping through pink petal kisses, dabs of cold north rain.
      Staying in and wanting to run out.

        Wanting to run out,
        play drums with the raindrops you just met in the window…
        wanting to be drenched clean out of yourself,
        blasted into a new, exhilarating place.
        Wanting to explode with it,
        like every stream ever…

        like the joy you feel
        when somebody sees you so tight,
        the bond they found there refuses to let go.

        Like the joy you feel,
        feeling able to jump in puddles again.

    This is so beautifully done Brittny. I feel as though I’m sitting in the window and listening to the falling. 🌷

    I love the feelings this evokes for me! It feels whimsical and longing yet not sad. It is that indescribable quiet that falls when we are just still.
