Insure Every Jewel
Swiftly she started the flashing rain
and called to the kids to enjoy the pain
The melt off the trees in the summer’s breeze
as the hail tore the clouds and began to freeze
The asphalt clinging to heated steam
and car tires hurling toward their headlight’s beam
A hush from the crickets all sparkling wet
as the storm takes the lid off the sun’s sunset
She rolled the bikes down the gravel path
and clinked on the bell as she, head up, laughed
and rusted the wheels as they road down the road
two girls fresh with giggles and goggles in tow.
The splashes decided to drown out the grass
who wept in the rain that they were growing too fast
as songs to be sung would be planted and last
as their roots tug the earth toward the perilous past.
The lightning danced up the clouds
The moon hid her face in her shroud
The bicycles raced with the wind in their faces
as the thunder shook the ground all around.
Their skin blest with drops from the rain
all worries washed slick down the drain
A passionate brood so internally good
on a trip down their memory lane.
