Rain

Rain, rain and more rain
It tumbles down constantly
Like small diamonds falling from the sky
Landing softly on flowers heads to the heights


New life creeps forwards
Brought forth by the rain
Birds flitter in the sky playing a game


Green fills the landscape
As far as one can see
Backed up to the grey sky
Trembling at its peak


The sky lights up
A flash from on high
A deafening sound crumbles from the sky


Animals run and hide
Trembling with fear
Running swiftly to their homes
Wet from ear to ear


And then at once
As if it never happened
It calms down to a sweet pitter patter
