-Gently Falls The Rain
Gently Falls The Rain
Gently falls the rain
one two drops and then more
landing on the leaves
of this small tree
Still a young one
in a tree's life
small finger size branches
reaching skyward
Leaves small enough
for the palm of your hand
sofly green and delicate
cupping raindrops as they land
Protecting me from dawns
early shower until
leaves bend beneath
the waters weight
So many tiny droplets
merging into one
slide from the leafy greeness
chilling as it hits my neck
Shivvers running
down my back
dawns refreshment
awakens sleepy senses
Can you hear the crickets
singing in the morning rain
happy for the coolness
the rain has brought
Over in the berry brambles
a chorus of tiny insects
praises for Mother Nature
and her perfect blessings
Off on the distant horizon
God's comment for today
brightly watercolored skies
show us unexpected beauty
Bringing anticipation....
expectations of a wonderful day
rain or sunshine
makes no difference
A new day dawns
fresh and bright
with promises unknown
until fulfilled
"with promises unknown
until fulfilled"
That was very clever, Kat.

Lots of vivid sights & sound here, as well as a cool, soothing mood. I enjoyed this, and will read more...
Oh, what a serene picture you paint with your words.
