Today, As I Walked In the Park

yesterday.

Yesterday the park was dry,

The grass yellow,
The earth dry and dusty,

Last night it rained,
and it rained,

Until the clouds were finally
ready to move on;

Today,
as I walked in the park,

There was a sweet smell of earth in the air,

And everywhere I looked,

Was so,
Green
