A light shower began today
now it looks as if it will stay.
A few drops first began to fall
turning damp the old red brick wall.
First it came like ripples on a lake
and tiny pools it began to make.
Like incoming ocean tides it grew
with many drops and then just a few.
Sometimes like rolling waves it tore
then like small ones that were a boar.
Like a tempest with the wind blowing
and then soft drops almost like snowing.
It soaks the lawn and runs down the drive
the once dry grass is looking alive.
There is no ocean in the Midwest
but this thing of beauty helps me rest.
