Valley Rain

sheets of rain
off in the distance
move across the valley
like waves crashing
into the shoreline
along the coast,
a primeordial
feeling at best...
in the mirror seen
of our woody
vintage but moving,
local music in the
speakers playing,
rolls and rhythms,
we are possessed...
the rain persistent
blows us away
riding on its sounds
and candences,
brandishing thoughts,
too many to count,
in the breeze swaying
like palm trees.
