Watching the rain, I remembered the smell of dry ground becoming wet ~ so wonderfully evocative.
Petrichor - 22 Jun 13
Midsummer rain
Pale cloud
Hides the blue
Earth starts to darken
Super Moon
Made to hide
Behind cloud
She can still be felt
Soft rain
Evokes memories
Of a dry afternoon
Warm sunshine
Welcome scent
Drawing me back
Taking me forward
Future memories
Just for clarification ...
Petrichor ~ she scent of rain on dry earth
Constructed from the Greek words, petra meaning stone and ichor, the fluid that flows in the veins of the gods.
Thanks for the hint Muse.
