After the Rain

After the rain, there are puddles;
After the rain, there are worms.
There might be some salamanders
Venturing out on the berms.

After the rain, some see rainbows;
After the rain, some see slugs.
There might be dripping umbrellas
Soaking your floors or your rugs.

After the rain, plants are happy;
After the rain might come sun.
Then there’s a time we’ll be waiting 
Until the next cycle’s begun.

Loving this one - we have had a bunch of rain here, which is terrific as we did have a rainbow and worms. Now it is 98 degrees 10 days in a row predicted. Ugh!

A cleansing of this soulful earth. A rotationally orbital rebirth. An ebb and flow of natures way. An understanding of come what may.

Nice one! After the rain in Waikiki, one sees giant African snails and sewer cockroaches! Aloha!
