Rainy Day

Rainy day at the end of May

wide open window welcoming

how graceful the trees in leaf swaying breeze

billow and bluster but only so briefly

Rainy day at the end of May

clustering clouds let loose and applaud

how pale the skies in shrouded gray guise

deceptive is Day, dreary double of Night

Rainy day at the end of May

post-precipitous petrichor perfume

how placid and calm the earth soothing balm

so subtle the scent and softer the song
