A gentle rain fell ~
for the wedding party that
had graced this empty lawn ~
beautifully coifed hair softened
graceful gowns dampened
the photographer closed her lenses
and collapsed her equipment,
rows of wooden chairs folded
to be stored for a sunny day
guests with few umbrellas
strolled back to their cars.
All that remained of life in the park
the colourful play structure beyond the trees,
the aroma of barbecue, laughter
and soft chatter of friends and families.
A gentle rain fell.
“The best thing one can do when it’s raining it to let it rain.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
