in love with the rain

“As light as the rain comes, it still rains down on you”

                                                  -Claudia Rankine

as a child, I was azure

tiny feet in tiny boots

rosy cheeks and giggling eyes

stomping from one reflection to the next

laughing in the rain

as a teenager, I was cerulean

skinny jeans and tank tops

gentle smiles and bright futures

hopping from one step to another

dancing in the rain

as an adult, I was ultramarine

frown lines and glasses of wine

tense shoulders and heavy souls

sitting on the cold bumpy ground

staring in the rain

someday I will be indigo

blue dresses and purple flowers

aged creases and wrinkled hands

taking one step at a time

in love with the rain
