July Rain 2

The hot, dry season is done! Invite nostalgia’s approach - enjoy her dance of delight. Science calls her "pet-ri-chor". quite lackluster, I would say for fragrance ever so light. Dust and droplets of water unite - concocting brief whiffs of essence known to excite. July rain brings memory’s sprite to life emanating thoughts only smells can incite. Smell deeply before she takes flight. All too soon she will go leaving without sound or sight.
