After the Rain

How sweet the morning light
 gathering in deep blue cleared skies
 glowing in reflections of the ocean tides
 glistening dewdrops on the leaves and trees
 grasses soaked and squishy beneath my feet;
bird song reverberating in the echo chambers
 beckoning a song on rewind and repeat
 balancing a joyous break in the weather
 basking where sunlight gleams in hot waves
 beguiling  and drying raindrops from every space;
after the rain
 indispensable growth spurts of bush and brush rise
 inching to greet and welcome the morning sun
 impeccable fallen peony and rose petals
 integral release from the faded holds;
after the rains
 abundant with life, the earth returns to spring
 accomodating the cusp of summer
 aching to breathe in the pulse
 accolades for the very heartbeat of the world.
