Waiting for the rain ...

Rain may come - 

The sky fills with clouds - 

This morning, I swam with Anne in the silky sea - 

I wore a seaweed necklace - 

Long ribbons of kelp brushed against my legs -

Ferns half covered an upturned boat - 

The air was still - 

The beach was waiting for the rain - 

In the garden, the grass under my feet is browned and dry - 

There's sand in my pockets - 

There are apples growing upon the branches of the tree - 

They will become small green worlds of sweetness - 

Lavender scents the air - 

Anne deadheads roses - 

Birds sing in the pine trees bordering the churchyard - 

I wonder what secrets my body hides - 

Rain may come - 

The air grows cooler -
