Outside

I think I smell the rain again

I see the leaves getting dewy

They’re breathing

Fresh air awakens everything

While the winds are barging through

They greet you

Outside here

Like any other morning

Landing on cue

I hear the drizzle coming down

And then I realize in all of my life

I don’t think that I remember it

Being so vivid

One, two, three, four

Five, six miles away

I wonder if they notice over there?

Until the light throws colors across the vista

Piling so high they reach out of sight

To heaven
