rain returned yesterday
falling through the night
morning winds then blew away
the dark clouds to let light

penetrate the atmosphere
reaching to the ground,
the sky no longer sheds a tear
here where I am found

as white clouds linger in the sky
over greener grass
and puddles sparkle driving by
evaporating fast

in a liquid luscious living land
reviving in sunlight
no longer touched by drought's dry hand,
an uplifting sight

grass greener all around
trees reaching to the sky
and seeming to emit a sound
a collective sigh...
