Waiting For the Rain

The clouds are playing games again,
   moving quickly by
   to reveal a deep dark stormy blue sky.
Fading in and out
   they sweep in returning
   blocking out the sun's hot burning.
They taunt and tease soft winded
   with hint of rain and its faint scent
   but as quick it came and it went.
A winter cold but bereft of snow
   passed early bringing spring to March
   but spring in April is dreadfully parched.
Everything seems to come to early
   from nesting birds to groundhogs burly
   and chipmunks chasing squirrels in play.
Nature breathes and abounds
  here upon this blessed ground
  so I won't complain or offer any disdain.
I am happy to see and endure it all
  watching it grow in its own theme
  creating the garden of my dreams.
