Raindrops

My fingers tapping rhythmically on the keyboard As raindrops fall hypnotically outside the door The scent of Petrichor; dry Earth dampened by rain Overwhelms olfactory senses….as addictive as cocaine My surroundings refreshed, the land will now purge Water, the recipe for new life to emerge Crystalised droplets dazzling like diamonds Decorate emerald leaves in the thousands Raindrops’ hammering the tin roof is calming As I look out the window, rivulets are streaming Raindrops are nature’s way of cultivating Therapeutic cures for all things living. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
