Exchanging Rain
by Caroline Knickmeier I was groundwater and you were a constant current of joy and tears and moisture from your breath became part of the clouds since you passed but all water is reused and your tears became mine and I slowly release you every time I cry I'll greet you on mountain lakes swift moving rivers fresh drinkable spring in brief showers that form rainbows that wouldn't be possible without the moisture passed through you since you've left behind I’ll breathe in ocean salty air greet you once again that which was once your tears as continued life ebbs and flows form endless color prisms through the changing sky |
