A Gentle Rain





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
