summer nights

Fireflies begin to shine,

as the pale sherbet sky fades to navy blue.

Laughter is heard from backyards, as little toddler's fingers,

reach for the glittering bugs.

Bare feet are running through the cool, green grass.

Hard breathing,

Harder sprinting.

Tennis balls are hurled,

Diving and twisting to dodge them.

Ice clinks against sweaty glasses,

and cold water is gratefully consumed.

Summer nights,

I missed you.

peace is held with rain

Pounding and pattering as the slick drops hit the window and slither down the glass. The sound is calming, and I embrace it.

A land of sloshy mud after the downpour.

Puddles deep enough to soak your feet.

The world is quiet, holding it's breath.
Waiting,
waiting,
waiting...
Until the greedy soil drinks in the raindrops, leaving only the smell of refreshed nature.

Calm was the world when the slick drops fell. Peaceful. Silent. Content.
Content with watching the sky break free.
