Autumn Rain
Pattering Rain Drip….drip, misty and light, rivulets on the window, coalescing into drops Slowly, then more quickly making their zig zag route to the sill Tiny rainbows against the sky, Birds gather their feathers around them, and shuffle into the leaves, onto branches, to wait it out Splashes kick up from the ground, spreading the water widely Cleaning off the floor but staining the walls with dirt Sunshine pushes through, Chasing the rain across the garden, monkeys getting married as it moves along Refreshing the space around me Birds call again, telling each other the local gossip Food emerges from the ground, caught by the eagle eyes robins and starlings
