petrichor
...blue blooded rock...
petrichor
king of the gods Zeus we implore you
release the petrichor... quench
earth’s lingering thirst the soil
needing wanting to drink along
dry plateaus and steppe plains grant
that your ichor drench
bring back life joy to parched valleys
long a sad song
rain drummers nymphs Hyades rise with
Helios come everwhen... anytime
of moon day
shower everwhere the arid earth... beat
those drums long longing hard we
humans pray
help us breathe again deep down to savor
the fragrance of paradise earth’s splendor
pour the water over the wide valleys under
your domain of grayish dark nimbus
cloud cover
come again rain showers scatter amidst
clusters of thunder and lightning bolts
farmers furrow the ground singing
dancing in the fields mist
praising goddess Deméter for a
goathorn harvest she set afoot
a dream sensation of cool soft breezes
the gods had on earth placed
a rainbow curtain from rain droplets
Helios had in the sky laced
a good rainy day for the goddesses to
frolic cajole with the mortals
as more water is falling from the sky
Zeus smiles... scents the petrichor
watches earth’s survival
oblivious to the sky whipping up snow
clouds... some little snowman flakes...

...let the rain dance with the muses...transitioning to fall colors...on to virgin winter snow...a season of joy...
