SUMMER RAIN
Fiery orb of passion and grace
One quiet sultry day all ablaze,
Hot smoldering eaves
Winds and rustles of brown leaves
Sun shines on idyllic summer day
Above as canopies sizzle, lazily I lay
On bed of dry grass and hapless weeds
Under forest shade of dancing twigs.

Eyelids droop, in listless languor
Wherefore, thoughts wander
Clear skies, an enchanting sight
Much to everyone's delight
Suddenly a roar and dream to boot
Aestas with garland of summer fruits
Thundering sounds like horses’ hoofs
Rains pounding on the roofs.

Brewing storm against sweltering heat
Cool west wind, summer to beat
Flowers smile and heave a sigh
Raindrops dampen soils, the wrath of sky
As downpour prepares to depart
Rainbow arch, fleeces of clouds part
*** of gold, hope after treat of summer rain
Drains the heart of every earthly pain.
