Rain falls gently on the earth
giving the plants color, rebirth
Birds don't mind, they thrive
the grass breathes green, alive
Worms gasp for air, wiggle and writhe
bees seeking the refuge of the hive
Songs and sounds fill the air
traveling on rainwater to my lair
I duck and dodge droplets with care
it seems only gray clouds can feel my stare
Yawning and aching from moisture about
avoiding puddles, changing my route
not much activity, lunch is in doubt
stomach is empty, beginning to shout
To the mouth of the cave, my usual station
Lionesses napping, back from vacation
from islands and beaches, both sides of this nation
Soon my time to leave, mind in elation
to mountains again, air transportation
body and mind catching up to my soul's education
