Rippled mantle like a cobble-stoned lane

Meand'ring softly as a wand'ring child

Stepping gently, crossing slowly once again

Revealing currents scattered deep and wild

Reigning in a kingdom of fostered showers

Billows rise like zeppelin clouds of ease

Coaxing daisies like dawdling flowers

Fresh to life's incessant breeze

Filtered breaths of windswept air

Clothed in day-mist's soft unfurling

Changing scene-pools of soft despair

Leaves aloft and swiftly swirling

Comes the rain in fevered splendor

Comes the rain in fervent wonder
