soft rain
falling gently.
little rivulets
coursing across
the rocks and leaf litter.
heavier now,
the percussion of a skyfull of drops,
each one exploding onto
the earth below.
winter has finally set in.
today is grey
and the grey is now wet.
the boughs of my garden
are dripping,
the green leaves
shedding silver teardrops.
rain. sweet rain.
the light dims
as heavy laden clouds
fill the sky
and this land,
with it's drought parched past
drinks it's fill.
