Blue Rain

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Collage of a rainy afternoon in the Balnarring carpark, Mornington Peninsula

One Single Impression #70 ~ Blue Rain

Watery cool scenes
Juices of the clouds well squeezed
Blue moods for grey rain
~
Blue rain for grey moods
Life blood of the soul rung out
Teary streams on ice
~
Blue raincoat cafe
Secret rainbow hideaway
New blue rain design

I'd like to find that secret rainbow hideaway. I think it would be peaceful.
