Summer Rain
June 9, 2013
I hear it first
Swift but light
Tick-tocks on treetop leaves
Rain of summer
Veils the woods with impalpable glassy silk
I imagine
Heaven’s goddesses
Sifting pearls for their necklaces
--Fall
And trembled the most vulnerable blades of grasses
Melting kisses on earth
It adds luster to the green air
Trees glimmering with peppered jewels
Roses as fresh and fair as can be
In June atmosphere
Smiling like a baby in a cradle
At the hint of the chant’s
Decrescendo
I think to myself
Paris is most beautiful in the rain
But isn’t it --everywhere else so?
