Reaching for the sky

You steal into my thoughts
Like the patter of raindrops
In the silver of this monsoon night
Gently awakening my senses

Wet earth, wet boughs, wet leaves -
I breathe it all in
Letting them envelop me
In a quiescent embrace

The trees sigh, letting out
Their breath, so long captive
Within their hard bark
Now peeling, discarding

Revealing renewed limbs
Shimmering in the rain
Dancing in the breeze
Reaching for the sky
