RAINS

The Summer rains are falling

They fill the dried up streams
The parched earth drinks it in
And dusty paths now are mud

Blue sky masked in shades of gray

God wrings out the clouds
Droplets form like buckets
And rain like puddles falls

Lakes and oceans merge
Rivers connect them all
The Summer rains are falling
The plush green grass returns
The babbling brooks are swelling
Liquid life on a sojourn

Summer

In Summer times
The sun does rise
And the breeze caresses my face

The long warm days
and starlit balmy nights
seem to slow the reckless pace

Long roles the thunder
bright the lightning strikes
and rain drops each other they chase

Sky is bluer and ocean warmer
the air humid and heavy
it seems this is always the case

When finally the sun goes down
and late the stars come out
It is then that the moon give chase

In long summer days
The light lingers late
Evokes a smile that winter cannot erase
