Random. 'Nuff said. :D

"Sky and Soul"
By: WritingIsMyReligion
May 2006

I watch, and wait, lithe, human,
As the first drops ease from the
Sky, falling randomly and happening
To envelope me as well in the rhythm—-

They are cool to the touch, and
Tightly formed, until they meet me,
Whereby they must bulge outwards,
Still retaining their essential cores.

The rivulets race more quickly now
Down my skin, sliding like liquid pearls
Until my neck, chest, thighs are
Damp with this shimmering energy—-

Some of it rolls down, to embrace the
Earth at last, crawling back into bed,
While more seeps into my pores,
Diluting my blood and soul with nature.

Thunder overhead rolls, a steady line,
And is echoed again and again by
The chords as they ring through
Earth’s most mystical ivory and ebony—-

All propelled onwards by the
Controlled, edging hiss of rain, running
Along taut animal skins, vibrating
In curved slats of singing metal.

Lightning that lances across the
Smokey depths of clouds illuminates
The flash and gleam of brass that is
Playing, burning in my mind’s eye—-

It sets free all manner of wild horn-cries
That skip in and out among rain and
Thunder, bright evanescent streaks of
Consciousness that leave nothing unseared.

I lie down in the heady earth,
Reveling in its exotic mud born of
Sky and earth together, and think of
Nothing but the passion inside me—-

It calls to the dancing-—but stolid,
Eternal-—symphony all around, and
Like a single drop of water caught in
The ocean, I become overwhelmed…

Now and forever more I am one with the
Laughter, with the sorrow, with the
Life that is found to be inseparable from
My beloved sophisticated rawness.

Meh. Not my favorite. But...Whatever!
