Silent rain
A mist over
concrete
Cools the heat of
friction
And asphalt releases
Its steam
To be reabsorbed
A cloud
A vapor
A mist
To blur signage
As I look
Face upturned
The silent rain
caressing lid and lash
Brushing lip
Reminds me
That I could be
anywhere,
A vale
A moor
A valley
Where the kiss of
nature’s
Tears meet earth
Renouncing summer’s
heat
Quenching thirst
I open my eyes
To the concrete
And feel nature’s
cooling
Her language
Spoken
Even here
She has found her
way.
I like the first verse especially - very evocative, and the rest of the piece builds towards the conclusion well.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much poetry diary!

ReplyDeleteThank you Jack!
DeleteSo beautiful, and universal.......even in the city streets, nature finds her way.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry!
DeleteThe rain continues to bless us (though some might say curse us) and I loved this...rain in the city is just like that. Seeking and finding through all the man-made.
ReplyDeleteI've read this before but seems I never commented. I love the rain and your poem Audrey.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I find the small repetition of the v sound soothing. I also l love the imagery. I wish it would rain here.
