parched potted petals smile and drink
delightful drumming drops sing softly
wonderful wet
out comes the turtle from under the fern
to see if a puddle has formed in the path
yes mock the birds
keeping time to gentle distant thunder
echoing a secret song within my self
this heart is washed
rain caresses coarse crackling cries that
rose a moment ago in agony of thirst
squish quietly
gurgle ripple touch drip trickle ditty
whisper sparkle shy shivering shine
thank you heaven
