Welcome to the Rain
Welcome rain, after the hottest day.
When roads dry, surface tar melts away.
The bins stinking from the heat,
dogs thirsty and tired from the sun.
Just a drop, then two, then more arrives.
It patters, against the concrete drive.
The pigeons tired, feathers stuck with sweat.
The air, once tight, begins to realign.
A boy kicks off his shoes, to feel the splash.
Old women nod, beneath the thunder’s crash.
The drains awake, and start to move again.
Town folk are happy, thanks to the rain.
So welcome, rain, you amazing thing.
You cool the heat, and make us sing.
You wash us clean, with cool wet drops.
You come with thunder, I hear its roar
