Walking in the Rain


Swiftly to the edge of town
We walked to watch the sun go down

We saw the moon behind the cloud
And heard the crickets trill aloud

Somewhere West we saw it rain
On dusty fields and dry terrain

Saw the cloud bank pink and gray
Saw the lightning skip and play
We hurried home and the clouds gave chase
And we were soaked; we lost the race
But the rain felt wondrous on my face

Lovely!

Your son-in-law came home drenched, and it was great fun to watch the kids run up and hug him, then re-coil.

Rain is such a cleansing thing, so needed in our little city of dust.
Beautiful pics!
