Rainy Season High

Rainy Season High

It's called the rainy season
A tropical act that opens after the curtain lowers
On abundant sunshine that affects the skin, the eyes
And reason.

In the bright glare of a palm-accented life
The body seems invigorated, basking
In a sunlit circus of new-found energy
But then..

Pouring, drenching,leaking and soaking
Come storming in, hand in wet hand, the Rainy Time
To greet Lady June and one's body and mood change
So much.

Eyes open full wide now and
Minds agree to follow
The Earth's aged pattern, sponging up most everything
Promoting growth.

The body's lotions layed away
Thoughts race anew across writers' cooling synapses
Children leaping wide puddles, racing on to
Thought. Reflection.

Then blue-green pastures of printed word
Blossom in light morning showers of inspiration
Leaving thoughts of sunshine's hot rays
Behind. Forgotten.

For now.
