The rain comes down
amassing large drops
from the leafy trees
branches an umbrella
above me hovering
The rain comes trailing
rivulets against asphalt
like black swirling
satin ribbons rushing
forth in the darkness
The tree frogs sing
their frog song chorus
penetrating the night
slicing through like
hot candle wax flowing
The rain comes still
as the tree frog sings
as we wait for another
generation to arrive
another life in the world

I love the tale of the rain and the frogs and then ending with the coming of a new little soul into our world. Maybe the tiny girl has arrived by now…let me know.

Thanks Claudia! A great grandma for the third time but who’s counting. I had my family at a young age and with five children the babies just kept coming. 🙂
