SUMMER RAIN

The wind's steady hum rises

to a roar, tree

branches sway

in its grasp

beyond the creaking window

left open to the summer day

darkening fast under clouds

now hiding the Sun,

and then raindrops starts falling,

beating hard,

five minutes of hard rain

and then it peters out,

and the clouds part,

the Sun starts to shine,

restoring the landscape

that was,

but the wind goes

quiet, the roar fades

to a silence

and we are in a different afternoon.
