One Writer's Life--Desert Rain

Desert Rain

So rare, so precious
Puddles form and spread outward
Beads of water linger on leaves

Birds hide in trees and shrubs
Feather fluff out
Keeping them warm

Sunlight plays peek-a-boo
Through the dark low-hanging clouds
That ever shift and change forms

People rush from place to place
Staying out of the mositure
But once inside window viewing
Comes at every opportunity

Desert rain becomes
As precious as hoarded gold.




Will this happen tonight?
