LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

this rain is relentless
such a summer of wetness and water
but the leaves drink and grow and stretch
expand and drink, grow and drink
until we go down in a tsunami of green

this rain is relentless
such a summer of wet winds and transition
but the green earth sings
hail to the rush of river
the bursting of banks ......
