The pavement was freckled

with rain.

The sky was sans stars

but it was just bright enough

to see

the freckles of the rain.

cigarettes glowed and

while we plugged our noses

the fire

was our lantern

as the sky

began to pour.

Who says God doesn't listen

when He makes moments

so beautiful and

perfect?

the rain began and ran down from the clouds

racing each other

and my heart wanted to play.

we waited with smiles

and hands stretched to catch it all

and carry it home

acoustic love

we got excited but we waited

until my shirt was dark

with the freckles

and my hair dripped to my eyes

we smoked life

the new lantern glowing.

at last your eyes in the rain

and our hands

and your smile

the moment

and God's wink

was all a little too much

to avoid

and we danced to the grass

and we kissed.
