Raindrops

silver strings play through lightning
in a tuneful duo with rolling thunder sound
the raindrops bounce and  jiggle
pounding and bouncing
in a rocking band
petrichor ascends
from a thirsty ground
saturates
like music
penetrates into my soul
each sound of nature
breath, listen, live and love it
a sheer joy and morsel of life which nurture

Daver Austin Date: 10/21/2014 9:54:00 AM A kind of surreal tone poem. I don't know the word, petrichor. The rest is fascinating.

By the way, the meaning of petrichor based from my reading is a smell of the ground after the rain. Thank you so much again. Hugs!
