It's raining here, enchanting all the trees.
Humbling summer's harshness to its knees.
Calming filtering softening every light,
Blending vivid contrasts to autumn's delight.
It’s raining now dripping from the colored leaves,
Cooling and refreshing with a gentle breeze.
Not raining cats and dogs with their noisy quarrels,
But hummingbird wings in smoky swirls;
It's misting still, undisturbed by howling gales.
In calming stillness the forest now inhales
Its final breath in calm anticipation
Of winter's freezing sleep and hibernation.
Foliage on the ground forms a musty coffin.
Dying leaves into earthy compost soften,
Entombed in peace in confident reflection
Of springtime and its resurrection.
This poem was published in the book TAKE ME TO THE GARDEN, by Jonna Padgett and David Young.
