Written for the Elementalist Poetry Contest.
Prompt: Earth.
Vigor
Out of the blue comes a downpour
drenching the summer savannah.
The drab brown dominates its lean
green, but the bleak turns
into serene translucence
in a moment’s space.
The rain-cooled earth emits
a pleasing fragrance
that spreads far and wide
like the endless grace
of a mother’s love
bringing solace to millions.
Memories of long past years
drench someone at another place.
Years of innocence and experience,
years freed of irksome inanities,
remembered faces and voices
resonant, caring and careless attitudes,
bring on an involuntary smile,
even as the rain-carried vigor
to the face of the land
stimulating a fresh start,
a new joie de vivre, making life
more precious, less sad.
