In The Rain

A photorealistic memory

The imagery is exactly how I remembered it - standing under a wooden gazebo in the botanical garden, mid-January, Singapore heat, overlooking the koi pond during a light drizzle. Damp; the soil and grass wet, producing something green and earthy. I can smell the spicy, vibrant, soaked cedar, a touch of citrus, and something meditative underneath, something like sandalwood. A beautiful take on a moment in time, which I gravitate towards fondly, in memory.
