First Rain

A watchful kind of morning this The sky a billowing pinkish bliss In stark relief scattered oaks stand As sentinels for the waking land Soon the pink has faded away To white pillowing clouds at play The wind has started to gently blow Stirring where the golden grasses grow Time my child to wend our way Homeward where our hearts do stay I think the afternoon brings rain Our winter song's first refrain...

What wonderful imagery1 I can almost smell the first tendrils of rain coursing down from the puffy clouds, pregnant with liquid cleansing.
