she arrived dancing wildly on the roof
torrential cleansing of the nooks and crannies
she even washed away the summer heat
and when she left
the world no longer thirsted for her presence
for now she runs through their veins
and they adorn their bodies
with her gem like beauty

Beautiful macro shot, Tammie, and words that really evoke the relief and freshness of heavy rain after a long dry spell.
ReplyDeleteJanice.
I can almost feel the freshness of the air with all those wonderful cleansing negative ions after a much needed rain storm...

ReplyDeleteHi Tammie,
ReplyDeleteWe have had so much rain here in England this year but it's not a welcome relief from a hot summer. Just soggy!:(
Though your macro photo is wonderful and so is your poem!
I have to say their is nothing like a good storm and the lovely fresh smell of the earth after a downpour!!

ReplyDeleteOn water; many think of the earth as our mother - I guess that makes the sea our grandmother . . .

Beautiful shot and wonderful song.
ReplyDelete...beautiful writing--you totally captured it. Reading it made me feel that rush of excitement as dark clouds start piling up in the sky and that peculiar energy starts spilling in with the winds.....then the rain comes and you can almost feel the earth sigh with relief. We love to sit on the front porch and watch the storms roll in--right now, we are parched and have had intense heat and humidity. We are waiting for that storm... (Loved the photo as well....the raindrops are so refreshing and happy.)
ReplyDeleteA great summer gem.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty!! Amazing how little drops of rain shine like diamonds. It makes me love rain more.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Tammie...oh how it makes me ache for that wonderful smell after a long dry summer, when the rain and earth come together...
ReplyDeleteThere are 9 fires burning in CA. Rain would be the answer to many prayers.
Gosh...I hope you are compiling these into a book? Such beauty...always such beauty here...:-)
ReplyDeleteSend her this way, Tammie. It is hotter than the blazes here. I l would love to hear the sound of rain on the roof right now.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot!
I love this poem Tammie!
