Rain

Rain 
How easy rain fall by its own weight 
On a landscape that needs it.

It is October and the sky is lead grey 
For too long it was uniformly blue. 

I walk to the shops and enjoy the sound
Rain makes falling softly on my umbrella.  

A forgotten lullaby remembered a song 
Without words just a hush of tenderness.

Having a day like that today. Even the leaves remain still under the rain's light touch.
