A Time To Dream
299
I love the rich earthy smell
right after a storm,
The flavor of heartaches
washed away with
the rain,

as I walk barefoot
in tall damp grass.
This is the time to dream,
with misty rainbows and
a pale sun in the distant sky,
And an orange glow to
light my way back home.
Painting Is Poetry
