I'm dressed in blue and green today,
the colors of the mighty sea;
the color of the earth and sky,
flow in my veins through me.
Bicyclists climb distant hills,
'neath clouds of silver-grey:
bright dots among the landscape,
pedaling their hearts away.
I've never seen the grass this high,
nor so many shrubs in bloom;
Queen Anne's lace, lupine flowers,
dance in a breezy tune.
The monsoon rains have come,
with all it's frightful power;
with hard and driving force,
instead of just a shower.
Half a year's total comes quite fast,
flash flooding in dry creeks;
but nothing escapes water,
as it's own level it soon seeks.
Then the sun regains its throne,
once more, the sunny reign;
dispelling all dark clouds,
over shadowed plain.
