Sitting on porches



Since Friday while the sky



Tilts like a watery glass



We wait for downpours



A drenching joy



A carnival sky



But what I don't say



What I can't say



Is that with this joy



Comes a mourning



Something left behind



Blue lined, teary



Mingled



I move on



All things will change



We wait for the rain



And the promise remains



Live life fully



Peeking through fingers



Slung in our hammocks



Cocooned



Skimming the water



Trapezed above time



We glide like slingshot angels



Belly up and



Floating we see



The promise in the sky



Up to Orion's ribs



We climb this tree



And listen



For our pulse



All things will change



We wait for the rain



And the promise remains



I flung loosely



Into that world



I stayed heavily



I'll be a Jacaranda Tree



In Indiana



I say



Greenhoused and sung to



I pray light will



Leak from out pockets



We'll be drenched, overcome



At night the fireflies



Streamers at our sides



Silent flaming arcs of hope



All things will change



We wait for the rain



And the promise remains
