We stand between the silence analyzing the thoughts that move
fluid like currents below the waters,
we can feel the tug, the motion
yet pull back for fear of going to far
to where no return would seem safe
and the sun beyond the thought beckons
in a world where the skies lie gentle in blue hues
soft as a baby blanket
and I turn around yet sense below it all
the movement heard
as the trees bend and rock
and the sound that had moved from silence
now crushes in a fury of sound and motion
like an unexpected visitor
as the rain comes rushing down
welcomed to alleviate the routine
knocking at the door with abandon
we open the shutters to see the fury unleashed.
Minutes pass like the dry patches that now lay soaked
quick as that, flash flood pouring down from above
the metal sags beneath the weight,
miniature rivers run through sand and green
into the corner of the jungle land
and just as suddenly as it had come
it slips away as if it was never there
except for the chorus of the frogs
always gleeful when the water beckons
they emerge and wage a battle hymn
with cicada harmony joining in
and I smile as I realize the little things
that take my mind away from the depths
and I swim on the surface
of another magical moment.
Yesterday was quite the interesting day, as the husband comes walking in I think I hear wind and ask him how bad it is out as he replies, not windy at all, and I turn around a moment later to see this wicked cool storm sending the trees waving in all different directions and the unfilled skies opened up with what seemed like a waterfall that splashed down like a bucketful thrown in fun. Just as fast as it came, it slipped away. The bananas (which are almost done) will be happy. Bonus was the second bunch on another tree which I didn’t even know about in the back corner. Going to be a banana bonanza soon. On another subject, once again, my comments are not sticking on some blogs that I follow. Check your word press spam folder and you can find me there. Sigh…..Tropical season is interesting to say the least 🙂 Peace and rainy days can be fun.
