rain
High Desert Storm Clouds
Today, in patches, it rained.
Morning by Krista Lukas
The stillness, the radio’s news,
the scent of rain. My neighbor
bending to pick up his newspaper
in its orange plastic bag, tossed
on the step. The cars all
heading this way or that,
a fine spray beneath their wheels. Vapor
rising from sidewalks, and the light
of the eastern sun, slanting long, as if
there’s all the time in the world.
(Krista Lukas)
A colorful, mindful, noontime walk
On days when I accidentally leave my more traditional camera at home, I am so grateful for the one built into my cell phone.
Weathering by A.R. Ammons
A day without rain is like
a day without sunshine
From the book The Really Short Poems of A.R. Ammons

morning rain
joins faint jazz & chatter
distracts from breath
clarifies grief
