Mid Day Rain in Fairgreen

Grey skies
Water stained pavement and sidewalks.
Roof tops sighing from the cold
Pots of flowers drinking the nectar
Wild flowers stretch up their faces
A light drizzle
Tickling the leaves of the trees
Kissing the petals of the roses
Dripping down the stems of poppies
Gleaming on the clover
A soft breeze
Touching the faces of an elderly couple
Rolling over the lush green hills
Playing tag in the tall grass
Moving over the huddled cattle
A distant thunder
Echoing in the mountains
Doing battle in the air
Going to war in the Heavens
Crying out in disdain
An eery call
Calling outside a dotted window
sneaking under the front door
Singing down the chimney
Dancing on the wind
