After the Rain

 


After the Rain

The birds are singing after the rain -
From splash-soaked branches I hear
their chatty, cheerful chirps.

Clouds part and open to the sun again -
As if a thick storm had not passed
my home with rumbles and rain.

The dripping-drooping leaves and calm, cool air
invite an attitude of reflection
in puddles or minds.

Rejoice in this gift, so lovely and fair -
A new day fresh born and alive. 
Be still and see.
