Listen to poem:

Pausing In the Park For Rain

Pausing in the Park for Rain
David J Walker

I stand between familiar trees
That harmonize in summers breeze 

And would that I could sing along
To visualize the summers song

And offer up a voice  so clear
Rain clouds gather just to hear

The places where the thunder roars
As lightening offers underscores  

Baptized every branch and leaf 
Rewarding every plant's belief

In simple faith the trees extend 
Branches to the heavens send


I stand between familiar friends 
And bathe in summer showers
