Wish for Rain
here on this pre-summer day
when the thermometer rises beyond 80
I will be a rain drop
full of cohesive tension
holding it all together
able to fly through the air
float in the clouds
fall into a puddle
making never-ending
concentric conversation
I will be a separate rain drop
but better in communion
with others in a swift storm
or in lakes or streams
or maybe some sweat
on your brow
as the thermometer rises
pushing past 80 degrees
on this warm Alabama
pre-summer day

Great take on the prompt. I love this part, “…I will be a rain drop/full of cohesive tension/holding it all together…”.
lots to like about this….very nice
Lovely photo and poem, Pam. “full of cohesive tension” really jumped out at me. It seems with all the changes in temperature, weather patterns, new growth during Spring and with all that’s happening in the world right now, this is exactly what I think most of us are feeling. Nice work! ~Robin
