Summer Rain

Summer raindrops fall
in sunbeams and starlight,
sparkling kisses upon
the wildflower´s face, 
to awaken with the grace of life.

cleansing the summer dust
from butterfies wings,
that rise and float
over Earth´s watered garden
and the parched voices 
of birds that sing.

Bearers of sweet music
for the dusty hills and fields,
to soften the flail of hail
that the darkening sky wields.

After the rainfall comes the jolly sun
and the sky takes off its grey hat and bows
celebrates with rainbow streamers
the new light and growth,
and bathes the Earth and air in glorious
shine and  golden glows.
