Rocky Mountain Rain

Finally the hot air gives place in the first rain
The summer lawn is soaked under a drippy layer
The rainfall plunks down the petals of flowers
Along the fences, some green bushes sustain

Apple, cherry and plum leaves prepare to fall
String bean, peas and cucumber vines droop
Green onion, garlic and parsley begin to stoop
The September heat swings by mountain squall

The bald high peaks scattered by early snow
At dawn the tops are covered with baby flour
That transforms into snowy clouds within hours
It is the sign to say goodbye to summer glow

The rains painted the colorful mountain forest
Decorated with red, yellow, golden and orange
Unlike the evergreen forest of my native land
Then colorful view become white like the crests

Mountain rain and view reveal natural creation
The fiery summer air has to fall and farewell
Then autumn and winter succeed to ring the bell
Man’s physical and moral change every season
