Intermission
the rain falls equally on all things, a fantasy (2017/rev. 2019)
rain clouds approach
in rain
separate drops fall together
heavy water
as the wind sings to the rain
after a rain (the smell, the mist)
the wind's forgotten melody
partial recall of a storm
gentle rain underwater
liquid sunshine
rain returns
a downpour's secret
the calming of the water
a child's first rainbow
discovering the rain falls equally on all things
