Zeus Is Coming To Get Me

they run for their umbrellas
I scoff
none of them realize
this is a violet's favorite rain
it comes down in the gentlest of ways
tiny droplets, refreshing and replenishing

people try to get me to take a ride
i politely refuse
extending my arms out to show I love this
some shake their heads
others smile
remembering a time when they did this too?

rain picks up pace. It is colder now
I put my umbrella up
hoping to see something struck by lightning
A loud cymbal crash of thunder makes me smile
Zeus is coming to get me
I feel loved

But not in the thunder showers. Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/13/2021 12:10:00 AM I walk in the rain no matter what; sadly ignoring danger.

We left in a rain, running back to the hotel while singing that song. People thought we were nuts. We were, ah, but what fun! You brought back that wonderful memory.
