Song of Evening Rain

,          ,                ,                 ,                      ,                       ,                    ,


We took no notice of a sky turned gray And the change of brooding gloom The autumn rain had tiptoed in We almost missed it's coming, but for leaves That murmured quick surprise along the eaves And tapped excitement on the window-pane But having heard, we left our cozy place And stepped outdoors to smell the air To feel the slope of rain upon the face And could even hear the rustling trees Dripping wet with sheer delight Gratefully welcoming tap-dance songs Of raindrops in the night

Aye! What a beautiful vivid picture you have recreated for me Carrie. And could even hear the rustling trees Sweetly praising, and dripping with silvery flight. Love that! Number one in my books. Lainie

I can see and feel the scene. The other morning I opened the door and I could here the trees dropping moisture which at the time was more fog but later developed into rain. Keep writing.Sara
