I forgot how the sound of rain could be soothing
like the calming rhythm of classical music.
The thirst for relief had felt longer than eternity,
for the soil exhaled and my lantana sang "Hallelujah!"
Silk-thread drizzles dusted rooftops and parched hills
with the flowing grace of an unhurried waterfall.
The fascination of puddles slipped my mind,
the childlike sense of play from a hop and a splash.
And who would think the sight of cocoa-brown mud
could be so entertaining in all its messiness!
Would you believe it if I said the flowers smiled at me?
And their leaves offered a gentle wave?
Observing from my slightly opened window,
I caught a grateful sigh from the soaked earth,
and I enjoyed listening to the roots laugh in delight.
