the blue sky rumbles with intent as darkness
invades the steamy hot summer's day
large drops tap gently on the roof
slowly ......purposely but teasingly
the humidity is soothed to a cool freshness
tempering my mood to follow
as the earth lays in wait
aching to be bathed
my senses dance with delight
embracing the change
its long overdue an eagerness
lies etched in the faces of many
dark clouds have threatened before
and have passed by without cause
flashes of colour emit from the sky
fuelling hope as i eagerly wait
for the tempo to speed up
waiting forever waiting
anticipating i ponder
how beautiful it is before
it finally rains..........
