monsoon senses

To come to your monsoon senses 

is to smell the thunder as it pops like a blown fuse,

which awakens the lightning that is so close you can taste its charge on your tongue, 

while the rain gently leaks into your heart to soften your expectations, 

clearing your mind for the sight of the rejuvenating smell of the fresh water

that prepares the stillness so you can listen to the rainbow tiptoe its way across the sky.
