My Five Senses

Rain falls outside my window so softly, the grass, flowers and trees need it awfully, and I sit drinking tea listening calmly. Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper, and wind chimes whisper. In the distance the splash of cars on the road, yet, there is a silence and the world has slowed, I can taste a sweetness that will soon explode, Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper. Hidden in dripping branches - a bird twitter, looking closely I see it quiver and a wing flutter, then a chickadee appears to sing and chitter, Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper. There is a delicious smell in the hazy air, I breath it in without a worldly care, as raindrops are falling on my soaked hair, Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper. I touch the drooping garden flowers as I twirl, spinning in a glorious dance- I whirl, the why of nature flows into the soul of this girl. Drip, drop and wind chimes whisper, and wind chimes whisper. ____________________ July 25, 2018 Poetry/Rhyme/My Five Senses Copyright Protected, ID 18-1045-880-01 All Rights Reserved.
