Rain In the Wild

Birds scatter in the air
as they head back to their nests

Rivers begin to create
beautiful circular waves

The smell of rain
fills the air once more,
as droplets of rain come
down to embrace the ground

The jungle is alive again
in the endless rhythm created
by raindrops and the earth

Thank you for your applause Brenda! ^_^ Our ancestors had celebrations and festivals, marking the onset of rains. Today, we still have some medicine men doing divinations, to invite rain when dry-spells have stayed for long.
