August Rain

with the sky all washed clean
the sun shines so much brighter

today, it is not just soaking us with heat
but it provides a gleam of cheeriness
to light up the cool breath we’ve been given

and as the puddles shrink
and their sparkle fades
and leaf and tree
deep in the glade sip in the moisture
and almost twinkle with eyes
of dew-drop like swellings

all of the living things of earth
seem to sense a renewed birth
even near the autumn of days
while they bask in these lovely rays

rays that are intensely different
than those just ten days ago
that pulled the shades,
closed the drapes
and iced down our necks and throats
just so we might survive their potency

yes, these rays today
are filled with joy and light
glistening of promise
refreshed with moisture beads
as they dance upon this realm
without and our hearts within

a few days passing and a rain to wash away the accumulated dustiness...and all things do indeed look different.

I love the times of year when the seasons are changing...summer to fall being my favorite. And I love the way you've written it.

I do love the newness that a good rain
seems to lay upon the earth.

You captured it well.

How very true. The rays from the late August sun are far different than late June or July. The changing of the seasons humble me...I also love the freshness of a summer rain. Well done! Nancy.
