the smell of rain

*




It was always the smell
that caught me off guard
earthy and solid
a thing not made
of imagination
but of life and creation
outside the power
of these two hands

more sensual than humanity
in its natural essence

green could always
invade my senses
and fill me with hope

the idea of growth and nature
how humanity cowered in its presence

always

    this is really beautiful Suzi. i love these lines so much:

    "earthy and solid
    a thing not made
    of imagination
    but of life and creation
    outside the power
    of these two hands"

    It never stops making me cry how many shades of green there are. You haven't lost your touch.

    I like this, the sensory leap with rain releasing smells.

    I'm no longer going to worry about names - just recognise the beauty when I find it. This is gorgeous.

    You should not be asking for anyone's forgiveness when you've only offered serenity and beauty, Scribe. Good luck in the contest.
