The Laughter of Rain



Laughing into each day is not always how my mornings start

Today thick generous clouds 

sit heavy on my head until

I watch grass and trees, 

thirsting for tiny tastes of moisture, 

welcome a steady misting rain 

dropping delicately on 

flower and leaf buds 

carefully laughing into spring.





“Last night 

the rain

spoke to me

 slowly, saying,

what joy

to come falling…”

~ Mary Oliver, What Do We Know
