Petrichor (PET-ri-kuhr) noun
The pleasant smell that accompanies the first rain after a dry spell
From Greek petros- (stone) + ichor (the fluid that is supposed to flow in the veins of the Gods in Greek mythology)
lull
of the
first rain
after a dry
spell procures
a suspense like
no other its silence
calms the exhaustion of
hysterical trees shrugging
off draught its scent lingers
between blackberry lanes that
bear their chests to the drizzle
its arrival breathes most sweet
lullabies of Gaia... a gushing
finger to her thirsty lips:
hush now sleep...
shhhh
