August Rainrain
slowly,
finally,
begins
to fall,
filling
the earth
with life
giving water,
ending
drought
drop
by drop
for days
========
After ages without rain, we finally got a long soaking one here in the valley. Days of the stuff. This poem is simply an word picture I wrote to celebrate. Unlike most of my poems, there is only that single layer of meaning. Enjoy the precious rain!
