Golden hour rain (draft, 2020)
I wrote this from my window in a burst of passion, while the rain fell to when it stopped. I used lots of "ing"s but I think I'm okay with that.
Come golden hour rain
Trace my small world, very gently
Like graphite on a page
Tingling, shimmering, precious rain
Gliding from the heavens
to meet the earth below
Masses of tiny treasures
in this early evening light
Gild the treetops, trace the leaves
Till the hour is up
And the clear droplets fall
Muddy, squelching grass, and
"oh, it rained here before."
