it rained today
by Mary Ellen Smiththis first rain rescues us.
this first sprinkling of snow
on burned mountain tops.
the clouds in the sky
carry a promise of fall.
finally.
and the sky was blue again today.
10/31/2003 Author's Note: After the clouds of smoke it is good to see clouds that carry a good promise.
