/ˈpeˌtrīkôr/
noun
a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather.

"try using your skills for something good,
something that will make your life positive!"
she said

so i did
i opened my heart to the sky
and the clouds
and the wind

i laid in the grass
and i closed my eyes
unbothered by all moving things
tears fled from my eyes

what i thought was grief
was commonly mistaken
i was withering
and my sky was only raining

i laid in wonder
i listened to the beautiful disruptions in my mind
the rain
the birds
the thunder

no
not rain
tears

but crying never made me feel weaker
it was a release to push me to somewhere meeker

so i lay there
internally and externally for hours
repeating to myself

no rain, no flowers
no rain, no flowers.
