Thank You for the Soup Sister

RainDrop Soup

When I'm sad,
I make soup.

Steam,
And the sweet scent
of solace,
Tiny wisps of water,
Rising,
A billowing cloud,
Kisses my face.

The sweetest,
Heady scents,
Breathing deeply,
I feel like honey...

Soup is for when it's cold outside,
When fingertips glow red,
And the wind sings through every crack in the wall,
Soup is for sore throats,
Sore, aching hearts,
Soup is for sadness,
Soup is for missing someone,
For lonely,
Heavy thoughts,
Soup is for healing the soul.

I found the perfect soup--

Ingredients:
-2 cups fresh rain drops
-1 cup deep blue sky
-1/2 tsp. morning light
-1 fallen star
-rosemary and clouds to taste

Dance in the rain,
And jump in every puddle,
Just enough to get thoroughly soaked,
Then wring out your hair and clothes,
Until you've got 2 cups,
Pour,
Sprinkle,
Or drizzle,
Into a pot,
Then add your 1 cup of deep blue sky,
And stir,
Over medium heat,
Stir,
Stir,
This takes time,
Keep stirring,
Until smooth and thick,
Then toss in 1/2 tsp. of morning light,
And at last,
Drop in a fallen star.

Don't forget to make a wish.

Dust with rosemary,
And clouds,
To taste.
