The scent

I sniffed it in,
And then I sniffed it in again.
I had missed it.
I had forgotten how it made me feel…
The unmistakable scent
Of the fresh grass after the rain.

Refreshing,
Re-invigorating,
A reminder
That Mother Nature reigns supreme,
And that the wells of water
Will be flowing
With the coming Spring.

Droplets that merrily
Dance on blades of grass,
Seeping into the soil
Reaching for the depths of my soul…
Let me rejoice in the rain!

A splash to put out the raging fires,
A drizzle to cool heated emotions,
Rein in the beauty of rain.
For this too shall pass
And again,
I will wait,
For the unmistakable scent
Of the fresh grass after the rain.
