Walk with the raindrops

Savor their sweet plunging

Let them coat you skin with diamonds

And let them smooth your throat

With the taste of rainbows.

Watch them fall between your fingers

And drape themselves in silver scarves.

Watch them color the land with vibrancy

Finger-painting over the old and faded canvas.

Whispering "Remember?"

"Remember when we used to dance with you?"

"Remember when our soft patter was music?"

"Remember when we strung a rainbow in the sky

And hung pearls from the leaves?"

And you...

You can't remember.
