of rain
by Peter Humphreyssome times
they speak
of sweet
refreshing rain
of rain
that washes
away the dust
of the day
that greens
the greys
of life
of rain
that
brings forth
rainbows
rebirth
love
where
deserts
parch
emotions
almost dry
well
last night
the gutters burst
the garden flooded
the Dodder surged
and
in the bright
clear light
of dawn
all questions
need

Author's Note: Another poem written in the grounds of St Luke's Hospital, after rain.
