I need it to rain
and rain down hard
crashing into me
take my glimmer with each splash as each drop slides down the surface of my skin
taking particles of me with it
plummeting in between my red painted toes to the grass where my feet are planted
the smell of green
fresh spring
wild flowers that almost remind me of crushed cranberry
red and orange tulips spiral around my feet
circling me like I am a performer
and they are my audience
such beauty is reflective of life
but the rain is plummeting down
and I need it to take some of me with it
to water the tulips that stand, circling me
in such an exquisite fashion
an arch of honeysuckle flowers cave over my head
as I tilt my head back to admire the beauty
carefully pulling the stems from inside a honeysuckle flower to discover such sweet nectar
letting it lace my lips before it reaches my tongue
spinning my tongue in clockwise circles to lick up the taste
from such growth
and time
letting spring rain down on me
grappling for my glimmer
to feed the beauty the lay around me
offering such promise
and I need this rain to take some of me with it
and transform me into the seeds for these flowers
to aid in my growth
I need this rain to come down hard
to sprinkle my face with such power
and take some of me with it
I need this rain now
please take some of me with you
