RAINDANCE

raindrops.

one hits my nose.

another graces my eye lash.

the sky is gray,

but at this moment

my world is full of color

as

i

dance

in the rain

like i'm five years old

again.

jump

in the puddles

like it's my last chance.

giggle

with glee

as the raindrops tickle me.

this is my rain dance.

earthworms come out to play

flowers come to life.

I lift my hands to the sky

and waltz with bare feet

through the mud.

As I gaze into a puddle

to meet a face

I'm only beginning to know,

it smiles at me

and then laughs at my surprise.

facets of that smile reflect in the

raindrops

all around me

dancing with me.
