HOW DRY
I attempt to put into words
The essence of the season &
Eventually realize how dry I feel
With anticipation & the
Taste of autumn in the air
I long for rain
Long for rain to gently
Touch my face moisturize
My soul a cleansing
Washing off the collected
Dust of summer
It is that time of year
Again the Fall when
I fall in love...
Please let it rain once more
& let it douse the streets good
I pray I will absorb
The blood of creation
Let it seep under my skin
How dry I feel waiting
Always waiting for autumn
