Atmospheric River (2023)

a river in the sky has fallen
onto all I see
water, gravity keeps calling
back towards the sea

from the mountains to the ocean
and everywhere between
water molecules in motion
are a living stream

ferocious in its tumbling fury
calming in its roar
as elemental forces cure the
desire for any more

condensation into raindrops
tumbling to the ground
longing now for when the rain stops
falling all around -

water molecules in motion
liquid lusciously
make a kind of magic potion
and cast a spell on me...
