First Writing Exercise

[days_unfolding]

I've done better, but not too bad for a first draft when I haven't written in years.

Rain

Rain, running down my hair
Down my back
Under my skin
Flowing through my veins
Cold, damp, soggy
Circling around
I shiver.

It glosses over
The stubborn stains.
But removes a layer
Of film. I want to see
Everything magnified
Through a raindrop,
Prisms of light
Surrounding me.
I want to melt
Into primary colors
And paint my life
Into flowers.
