Listen to poem:

Rain On Dirt

Rain on Dirt
By David J Walker

I hope heaven smells like 
Rain on dirt
She said 
And in my head was released
Memories of freshness 
Rain and dirt
Mixing mud
Making new life
As it was “In the Beginning”
A scent that fills the 
Senses 
With the closeness of heaven 
Telling its own version
Of the conversion of 
Dust into life

Touching thoughts.... Truly a wonderous little piece, David. Clinched concepts, but necessary to translate the point easily. It's definitely a tangible concept.

Thank you for your insites. And congratulations for the 2020 Fresher Writing Prize. I've hd a chance to read through some of your work this morning, enjoying all of what I quickly read. I will read more. I think David Flavoured was my favorite. I love it when words bring life to its subject.
