Warm water from above
Splashing in the puddles on the road;
on the leaves of trees and flowers.
Falling on two lovers
Enjoying the time before its over;
the two leave for home
Cherishing the love they shared
In the company of summer rains.

Refreshing sprinkles from the skies
A shower to break the heat
to dance under in celebration
uninterrupting, welcomed
A warm summer rain.

Thunder, crashing towards land
water rushing, destructive
A flash of lightning.
The lovers see another
a glimpse, first in years
They move towards each other
lightning cuts through the sky
they are closer, closer yet.

A still in the rain, darkness
the lovers find each other
Lightning, like the noon day sun
the embrace, long and passionate
The storm calms, clears
night grows into dawn
the pair still locked in the other’s arms
still kissing
to never be separated
making promises of forever
after a gentle, summer rain.
