I wish I could share this with you
The heavy rainfall outside my screen door
After another humid summer day
The clouds rolled in and burst open
Spilling rain so fast end the birds have fled
To the shelter of the densest hedges
The grass is underwater
Rain falling to quickly for the ground to absorb it
And the music of rain falling on the temporary lake it has created
Is music to my ears,
Delicate, random and steady all at once
As dusk begins to darken the already lowering skies
The birds emerge, sparrows and
Papa cardinal with his raucous chirp
only they, would can fly over the sodden ground are out
Landing on the island beneath the tree
To feast on rain-dampened seed.
