The Taste of Rain

05 June 2025

Joseph A Farina

the taste of the rain

 

 aroma of leaves 

 returning to earth 

                 water and sunlight 

                 to windswept rebirth 

 

                dreams of walking 

                through paths of september 

                        shareing our secrets out loud 

                        under fine rain 

                        that drove us to shelter 

                        and showed us the way 

 

                 when the last leaf of autumn 

                 falls to november 

                        then colours 

                        though faded 

                        shall always remain 

                     in senses 

                     that press 

                          precious pieces of living 

                  to memory 

                  to passion    until all that remains 

                                are the souvenir ruins 

                  and the taste of the rain.....
