Max With Rainfall

As I study “Without Borders” it begins to rain and I drift in and out of reality. —quote by poet

MAX with rainfall

the hammer of rainfall
counterbalanced with bold
red round sun, nearly a world
within a world of color

white clouds like dancing spooks
across the rotund belly of impassioned sun

verdant green leaves mask the rain-
clouds…dim light 

that boat appears
when my eyes drop
like rain, i feel
my mood change

i can see splatters
of red, yellow, blue
lightly hitting the river
headed for me

the hues are not primary
but rather
salmon, blueberry and banana-creme
—then the sails,
lift me above the waters,
smaller than the sun
but distinct

the placid vessel rests
as do i - no turning back
and the rains

have stopped
as i look away
