Clouds under old hands part to show new worlds
A deep thrumming inside your head
With anticipation, like a viper about to strike
Mud makes way for rains, which flow smooth like water
Flowing with the possibility you bring

Entry Title: Rhythms
Entry:

Together or apart we find similar songs,
We dance in nights, lives separated by the thin ribbon
Of distance, and time, and all of those things you talk talk about
Talking gets drowned out by mambo, by salsa, by the swish of your foot
The music drowns out your sorrows, my unending thoughts
One two three four One two three four
Together or apart we find similar songs, rhythms that return me to you

‘Fair-locked and winged’
Gorgeous and free! Wind whistling through swift feathers
‘Fleet-foot’ ‘Storm-Swift’
Clever in the night and in the morning a rush!
Galloping through the air clawing through the clouds
Oh “ugly” and “cruel” lies from jealous tongues! Lies from those who can't
Yell joyous shouts at an unending sky with the world a small speck below

Entry:
The wind is blowing westward today,
It blows the petals off the solemn headstone.

Recalling the age before our bones began to creak,
The lustrous jungles,
The frigid ice floes,
The heat-cracked floor near where fire turned liquid.

No matter how warm the sun feels on my scales,
It seems to be raining today.
I have less than no idea what I’m doing

The guardian’s harpy familiar proudly hands over the scroll,
”I helped a bit on this one!”

The ancient guardian dragon cuts in,
”I had to physically restrain them from writing ‘bestie’ in the title.”

Farewell, my pride, my joy,
You’ve been my life, from boy to man.
Come take these wrinkled hand.
You are the wealth I’ve been bestowed.
They say you reap what’s sowed.
And all my hopes I’ve sewed to you.
Go sail to someplace new,
Those things I could not do, you can.
Your journey’s just begun,
You’re more than what I’d planned for you.
Now, we must bid adieu.
The boat has docked, the crew has come.
I’ll always be your home.
But now apart we two must be.
My child, I set you free
Now go, and meet your destiny.

Entry Title: Spring's Breath

Taste the lovely blushing flowers
Taste the rain’s reviving power
Taste the song the birds are singing
Taste the joy that ushers spring in

Here the buds are slowly blooming
Thawing through their icy prisons
Greeting spring with starburst colors
Taste the lovely blushing flowers

Hear the boom of rolling thunder
Raindrops trickle, pitter patter
Feel the chill of April showers
Taste the rain’s reviving power

Welcome all life’s new arrivals
Nurture them before their trials
See the new, adoring hatchlings
Taste the song the birds are singing

Flowers petals dance a tango
Raindrops drum a marching solo
Young ones prance, their eyes a glowing
Taste the joy that ushers spring in

One thing Wisteria has always loved is writing poetry, though until today she's never shared her work with anyone besides her mate, Yulania.

Nervous, she closes her eyes to visualize the wild gardens of her home and drift in the sensory memories of her subject. Rain. She remains emersed in those memories as she recites her new poem from memory.

Entry Title: A Taste of Rain

Entry:
The scent of hinted rain
Drapes like a comforting shawl
And I yearn for a taste of it
Fresh and cool, Quenching my thirst

First, it builds…
As the sky longs to cry in relief
One drip at a time it begins
A gentle patter, followed by a prolonged hush

Sometimes it howls in a windy storm
Dynamic and full of bravado
Listen to the skies play their drums
Percussion at its best, rumbling through

And then…oh then,
There’s the symphony at last
When the sun joins in duet
The rainbows arc, and the droplets sparkle

Like a garden weathering drought,
I ache for it all
Yearning for that first drop
The taste, the very essence of thirst-quenching life.
