In Falling Rain
In hot sultry heat of afternoon
electric charge in the air does grow
every touch with tingles filled
tension swelling growing is
soft breeze whispers through
pressing cloth again swelling curves
moisture clinging showing all
soft warm drops begin to fall
lush full redness of cherries ripe
pressed with promise against the lips
filled with moisture to set free
in the promise of coming storm
gentle touches placed upon
flesh that trembles still contained
growing tension of coming storm
flashes of lightning illuminating all
slowly gently do they fall
growing moisture warm and free
quicker now with growing force
till full crashing of raging storm
lightning flashes and thunder roars
slowing now the rain does fade
full wet drops slowly now
till only warm mist remains
gentle breeze does clear the clouds
soft light does fall on everything
revealing that which was not known
that now may grow after storm
