seeding clouds

Listen to poem:
We did not speak of rain; only the wish that our love could be again. The air was bone-dry, with only the merest glimpse, of wispy cloud remnants, in the sky. But, our thoughts, hopes and wishes coalesced to form empty puffy, fluffy, white cloud receptacles. That we could seed with intent, by prying drops, one at a time, from memories long forgotten gone bone dry. We tapped our reminiscences, of the good times we shared, buried deep in our dry parched ground. We sent each droplet squeezed, aloft to gather in the clouds above. The clouds darkened with foreboding, reluctance and trepidation, as their burden grew with expectation overdue. At last, the clouds, topped up to brimming full, could hold on no longer! They burst and gushed out with raindrops. That toppled on our heads, sprouting our seeds, watered from the clouds above, seeded with our love.
