RAIN

Rain

Dusk
A stillness
Palpable
A presence that
Hangs heavy in the air…….

The promise of rain

Heady intoxicating Jasmine
Lily of the Valley
Delicately perfumed
Lemon flowers
All releasing this question …..

Will it rain ?

Birds seem to think so
As they twitter in the darkening trees
Yet you, or me
Don’t
It happens so infrequently
Like a long ago memory
In childhood dreams
Rain
Will it rain ?
