late summer
the last strawberries
their hearts throbbing
await the rain
at dawn
the field of sun-
flowers lift their heads and
await the rain
the rain
that fell heavily
yesterday
awaits the rain
I stand
foolishly in a puddle
and wait
for love
the sky
is empty of it
now my eyes fill
with rain
Wonderful, especially the last two units.
Oh how well…those last lines convey a sense of longing and sadness.
