Petrichor
Drops of rain begin welling up
Water particles suspended at a considerable altitude
Lighting crashes and my thoughts get loud
A black nimbus cloud with a splatter of gray matter
My voice is the thunder, and I project it
Indiscriminately
“Who wants some rain to quench their thirst?”
'Who wants a drop of rain on their tongue?”
The heat from the day will set me free
“Pale faces, gather your buckets!”
Hairs on arms slant upward in anticipation of my arrival
I soak the souls that are owed alleviation
With the wind as my catalyst, I cannot be stopped
Drops are formed as particles are spun
The first drip I cut loose falls free from fear
Of its lonely existence in the atmosphere
Petrichor is the scent produced when rain creates steam
Petrichor is the fluid that flows through the veins of God
Those who seek for the simplicity in minuscule things
Shall cherish the visits a drop of rain brings
