Bright, Clear Picture

A city park after a storm The leaves on the trees are drooping small puddles in the muddy field birds flying overhead Empty now, the park almost seems like a living organism Drip, drip,drip as the water slides down a statue The benches are wet but I decide to sit on one Breathing in air that has been cleansed by the downpour If I only felt this way all the time! a squirrel rushes up an oak tree life goes on as it always has Sometimes we need a heavy rain to clear the air to feed the grass to make us feel whole again The squirrel comes down again curious and hoping for food
