April Showers

Again we enter the season of rain

Pittering and pattering upon the roofs

Ribbons of water stream down my windows

In a calm shower of spring

Lovely early flowers are decorated with raindrops

So much rain that the earth turns to mud

How the smell of the wet earth calms me

Oh so cozy, wrapped in a blanket with a cup of tea

Watching the raindrops fall with a book in my lap

Everything seems so serene during these small showers

Rain falls gently onto the cold earth, readying it for

Spring. After all, April showers bring May flowers.
