Autumn Rain


Taking a break
for a walk today
while the rain rained ~
~ A single rose
caught my eye in mid stride,
steady raindrops brightened,
monotones of silver-grey rain
broken, slate grey clouds hovered
over shining gilt encrusted
lacy green-gold leaves, 
pinpricked by autumn dryness ~
softened by the fall of autumn rain.


“ If the rose puzzled its mind over the question how it grew, 
it would not have been the miracle that it is.”
~ J.B.Yeats
