A Drench of Grace

adashofsunny Prompt Nights – Rain showers my spirit and waters my Soul –  Sanaa Rizvi

“The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.” e. e. cummings

 

This poem is a grey lined sky
roiling clouds of pent up sadness
tension mounting sizzling crackling
across my skin goosebumps mounting
then a drop. A ping. A tap-tap tapping
on my upturned face till a steady fusing
of tears and rain washes away the day’s
frustrations.

This poem is a heave of relief. A sigh,
diamonds in the sky, a motif of release
as tears and rain mingle into a single
sheet of wet drips from my chin, rivulets
of violet boohoos. Then, it’s over. An ooze
of sunshine from behind the clouds
and the greys of sky and life clear out…
rejuvenation.
