in creative moment
of dance, mirth
ah! nature. see?
just to be...
dancing
she
pulls water from sea
clears, cleans
returns those waves
as rainy sheen
back to you and me.
let us dance...
dance in the rain
the grandest scheme
greater
than greatest dream--
process of extraction
reconditioning
using again and again
...while we
dancing in the rain
dampening
with sweet
wetness
nurturing growth
providing sustenance
reasons to dance--
wet...dense
is the milk
mother cloud
dispenses
assuring
future dance
insuring
life's
continuance.

ReplyDeleteI like the cycle.
Lady Nyo....too hot for breath here.
This reminds me of childhood days, running joyfully in the rain
ReplyDelete( unless mother called us in when thunder and lightning began ) or wonderful visits to Caribbean islands with special people and romantic rainy night dances that ended with a swim in an azure sea.
yes, with so many places experiencing drought-like conditions, dancing in the rain is such a sweet, welcome thought. it's been a long time since i danced in the rain, great memories.
ReplyDeleteI so wish we had some rain to dance in here--the weather is just sullen and awful. Your poem was a very pleasant immersion.

ReplyDeleteAs I look back over (many MANY!!!) years, I cannot recall any summer which was not as hot as this. Of course, I cannot recal LOTS of things! LOL!

I like to hear of those Caribbean visits, and that azure sea-swimming.

Sometime write a blog about those memories: and dancing in the rain—grin!
HEDGEWITCH:
Immersion! I love to be immersed in anything.
Sorry about the weather. Ours is typical for summer: early morning cool. Morning hot, nap, afternoon rain, nap, little cooler (less hot!), nap, dinner and blog, and it's bedtime! (Actually, a lot more goes on here—grin!

Dancing in the rain...nice.
ReplyDeleteMine is here:
The Evening Wind
Beautiful expression of our most basic connection and joy that we we seem to so often neglect. Without the whimsy of the dance life sure gets tiresome. Loved the write and sentiment! ~ Rose
ReplyDeleteAs humans we have been charged with ensuring these cycles continue, to keep the rain falling, running its course to the ocean, and keeping us dancing in drops that won't burn! Thought this was wonderful! Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteWhy do we attribute the feminine gender to nature? Okay, you be good now. I am going into hiatus from the blogs as I embark on a very important project. I shall return soon and you will know when that is because you will be the first blog I will visit and leave a comment, okay? Behave yourself. Stay away from thunderstorms.

When you return I will explain why we call nature “Mother”. But I think you already know. The chicken came first, right?--grin!
You say, “Behave”??? Who...ME?--grin! Be safe, artist-and-artistic friend.
PEACE!
Dancing in the rain...embracing life...enjoyed the thoughts.
