SHARING A POEM

I am sharing a poem I wrote. I know I have fallen down on updating my blog. So sorry. So this poem will do for now until I can get the inspiration to share once again. I hope you all enjoy it.

WALK BETWEEN STORMS

Rivulets of rain carve wrinkles
in the earth; feathered clouds
depleted of energy 
glide listlessly overhead.

Worms, expelled from sodden soil,
form mysterious script on the path,
native code talkers writing
alien communication.

Liquid diamonds quiver on a strand
 of spider silk, a bracelet adorning
the uplifted arm of a redbud tree
swaying to a rumba beat.

Rain-pasted leaves craft
a collage of natural hues
alongside the river running russet
with torn flesh from mountains.

Along the worn path miniature craters
comprise a moonscape
as wind wafts diminutive swells
across scattered puddles.

The fragrance of moist grass
is a heady aroma,
an aide memoire of
renewal and growth.

Returning home as rain begins again
I gaze through the wet window,
witness the writing of water
across it, and covet its clarity.
