The Babbit Runs Away
So much thought to choose from,
the garden grows well in the rain and sun.
Through the window I can see
the dance of leaves upon the tree
but in the overcast of cloudy gray
there is a haze upon the day.
All is suddenly too quiet and too still
and nothing teases or tempts my will.
For the moment I am unafraid
watching the day slip by in parade.
No pomp, no circumstance
no band to play or steal my glance.
Here comes the rain, at first a drop or two
then a downpour like Noah's deluge
I run to escape weather's threatening storm
and the babbit runs away in free form forlorn.
