Nature's Moonshine

Natures Moonshine A soft rain, needle point sharp, cold yet refreshingly welcome gentle tremors teased the flowers droplets trickling down parched petals washing away the footprints of the bees. Leaves collect coolness on tree’s perimeter a bucket brigade delivering water to the heated core of baked roots fueling their desire to reach deeper in pursuit of a diminishing need. Birds, frolicking in shallow wading pools rinsing the protective dust coat clean preening themselves in dappled reflections singing – in the rain dancing beneath a flickering streetlight. Blades of grass – applauding in the gentle breeze guide the chilling rivulets toward their roots exhale a sigh of sweet relief invite the worms to cool themselves beneath a dripping August moon.
