Summer Rain

Thunderstorm about 1/2 hour ago while we eat dinner.

Girls getting ready for bed, a light summer evening rain begins.

The air smells so fresh, the sound so sweet

of raindrops splashing on the cala lillies and street.

Now, not such a light rain, it sounds louder as the rain pelts

it pelts the street, the grass, the trees, my home

silencing the rest of the night

bringing to mind summer rains in my past

and sweet summer love.

I'd better go close the windows!

My sweet soul, it smells so good.
