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.
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
