Heather Browne Poet Free verse

You Can'T Rush the Rain

You Can’t Rush the Rain
	
You can’t rush the rain
Clouds choosing their offering
sprinkling
scattering
anointing	
Oh how I long for it to rain
Never my timing
the burst of cloud
color-washed sky

The tea’s strength is in the brew
seeping flavor
mingling
overtaking  water
Wine seasoned oaky from the cask
My boiled egg twelve minutes
never 10, not 9
The cheese needs to mold
And I can’t rush the rain
