Falling Purple Rain

I sat not too far from here on a stone under a trellis beneath a wysteria vine about one year ago. A year ago or so I sat there not so far from here and wondered.

It was sunny then, as Central Texas springs can be. It was sunny then and warm, and the sky was blue, and the sweet fragrance of purple rain fell to the ground about me.

And now it is sunny again down here by the water. It is sunny again, and the light is glistening on the waves, and I wonder if that purple fragrance is falling. I wonder about that wysteria vine with its blossoms falling from above. It wasn't so far from here.

So come with me. Come walk down the trail a bit, and I'll show you that place where I sat in the sun on that stone by the water under that vine amid a falling purple rain. Come with me. Let's wonder again.
