"My Obsession"

 

 

 

I awoke to silky rain.

No thunderous clouds boiling the morning skies,
nor fists of lightning pounding the heavens.

Just cool, smooth drops that gather on leaves,

pool together with a common goal,
and stream down to heal.
To nurture.
Scarce and valuable,
this liqueur makes me giddy.
Sheltering my lens,
I dodge under the trees.
My determined heart longing,
longing to capture
to record
to preserve this memory.
