Description

Sunday Rain

A thousand 

upon thousand 

droplets of sky, 

dancing, 

falling, 

dripping, 

in single 

silences, 

echoing 

from leaves 

that tremble 

and shake, 

filling the air 

with their floods 

and voices, 

overhead,

a hurry 

of birds 

flicker 

and tumble, 

dipping 

and turning 

against 

the blustery call 

the invisible wind, 

and higher 

still higher, 

the grey flotillas 

of clouds 

deepen,

and drift 

across 

the silver 

mists, 

hanging 

in veils 

across, 

the woodlands, 

the folds 

and valleys 

of earth 

and landscape 

ploughed,

since September 

harvested,

their farms 

and outhouses 

huddled 

in shelters,

dips, 

and meanders 

of rivers 

and towns, 

glistening,

with rooftops 

and blinking 

windows, 

as the sun, 

at last, 

glimpses 

in sunlight 

and morning 

a sail arising 

between islands 

of blue 

behind 

the dissipating 

wreaths

of clouds.
