morning hike
face full of spider webs

box turtle wanders slowly
through rain drops clinging
to parched earth and plant

puppy tongue laps
creek water
quenching thirst

tiny fish dart to and fro
frog leaps
with a big splash

steady rain
washing life away

silent
peaceful

soft
calm

content
deliciously divine

rain falling
on the moon
great ape washes

collecting raindrops
dipper of fresh water
thirst quenched

clock ticks
rain falls

night
summer

crickets sing
bullfrogs croak
