SPRING IN VERMONT

SPRING IN VERMONT

A gentle breeze is blowing
across my green mountain home
and the sunset is glowing
through the sky's graying dome.
~
The clouds are growing thicker,
a smell of rain in the air,
as the kitchen lights flicker,
with a distant lightning glare.
~
Hard showers will come tonight,
the sign of beginning Spring,
to water all that’s in sight,
needed for each living thing.
~
Morning will bring the sunshine
and blossoming all around.
All will be just fresh and fine,
as rain soaks into the ground.
