When Birds Watch Rain
platinum and grey
against the sky
it starts to rain
clouds silver linings break
birds tucked away in the trees
are quiet now
water gathers down paths
collected by gravity
intensity varies from
down pour
to steady
to trickle
these clouds
are in no hurry
and like variety
then suddenly a hole appears in the clouds
the sun shines through while it rains
like liquid sunshine
birds peek out from within the trees
and excitedly tweet
secure in their knowledge
that somewhere there is a rainbow
