When the rain falls

Backing track from the wonderfully free pixabay site, this song is called Cave of Enlightenment by Light Music. Dripping wet earthy poem. When the rain falls River songs fill the air Soak here with me In soft green springs Pools of deep shadowy alpine Rippling lime Spreading to emerald Oceans opening to the sun Turning into jewels Perhaps I love the moss most of all The smokey coolness, translucent white stems Warm hearted singing green, nutty and earthy I love the sensible green of an oak leaf Balanced, dependable, familiar And the way a fern has A darker A wet primordial mystery Quite in contrast to the cyclic garden shades Getting used to one season, one story Wondering when you’ll change I am cool waters that birthed forth jade Almost every tone possible Mineral cities on the horizon Flashy malachite and turquoise hallways Nothing pleases me more than taking my time Turning a whole field over to tawny brown And then back again after the spring rains Tempering your eagerness with much needed rest Green is every shade of rest. And lends itself to all potential Of dreams and of the future From the immortal evergreens To the blink and you’ll miss them fiddleheads Return to me Green-hearted wanderer You are home, even if apart I can find you, get closer still As I close my eyes I’ll take my time Come to me Green-hearted lover I am the earth.
