"afternoon showers"
written 5-1-95 at 10:12pm

see you
   come out and play
play
   come out and see
i'm holding a rainbow in my hand
   so many colors
each color is a part of me 
   i would like to share
holding hands 
   running through a field of sunflowers
letting the sun warm up our flesh
   so it can be cooled by an afternoon shower
      feeling each drop 
         like they were returning from where they once came
i want to show you my rainbow
it is right here in my hand
