rain lost its sound
although the petrichor lingered
wind overcompensated
moaning with the collective voice of the voiceless
gusty, angry, and wild
they say it begins with a rumor of endings
this storm to end all storms
even the wet street
illuminated by pear-shaped lanterns
smothered the reflection of a purple moon
with eyes wide-open
I observed the enormity of the moment
soaked to the bone
I raised my arms and laughed
and became the Sun

What a lovely poem. I really like it. Especially the way it ends with empowering laughter. I’m wondering if you meant a different word in this line or not? “they say it beings with a rumor of endings” Do you mean begins instead of beings? I can’t help it my eyes always notice these things it must be all the years of proofreading students work. Regardless enjoy this beautiful day and keep on shining your light

Thank you for catching that! I’ll go in and change it. I was a teacher for many years as well but I guess this needed another read. Appreciate the feedback.
