Poetry Performed Episode 040 - The Smell of Rain by Z. Pierce Weston
The Smell of Rain by Z. Pierce Weston
A hint of rain comes through the car’s vent
That smell
Like books and coffee
Something so calming
Stirring deep inside
A feeling undefined
But it’s like an otherworldly peace
Something humans have forgotten
An ultimate connection
Isn’t it weird
How we feel so much for natural scents
Or what was living or life giving
Do we desire so much
What is tangible
To touch
Yet our souls constantly search
For what isn’t considered much
Like books and coffee
Something so calming
Stirring deep inside
A feeling undefined
But it’s like an otherworldly peace
Something humans have forgotten
An ultimate connection
Isn’t it weird
How we feel so much for natural scents
Or what was living or life giving
Do we desire so much
What is tangible
To touch
Yet our souls constantly search
For what isn’t considered much
Unseeable
Yet swelling deep
A depth we didn’t know we possessed
Like our souls mirror galaxies
Infinite but containable
Measured without distance
And still we define by our bodies
That which does not crave
Such smells or connections
An ultimate, incredible calm
As if the universe knew
I needed some
