OCTOBER RAIN

Sun started to shine, and I made

to rise from my chair

before the window and the computer,

to go outside -

in the yellow-gray autumn

made golden and silver;

then the rain started to fall,

hard rain amid sunshine,

and I sat back, watched

it fall as the gold

and silver waned,

and the sound of the falling rain

rose, beating thunderously,

as white clouds drifted

against pale blue sky

above the birches.
