It rained this afternoon
and into the evening
dampening unruly wind to stillness
and the scent of tree blossoms
unless I could put my nose
right against their pink loveliness
only passing geese are louder
than the drip drip of the lazy clouds
until a car passes
ruffling the water on the street
and still it rains
patiently, steadily
cooling the air and dampening the wind.
“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.”
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
