Laughter after the Rain

Inspired by 'A bud in bloom'. WC 56

Spring rains kiss the grass.

Puddles nourish the parched Earth.

Withered trees rejuvenate.

Leaves sprout from so many vines.

The sun sneaks a peek between thick clouds.

Tiny buds burst forth, blooming with laughter

for this fantastic game of hide and seek.

The sky in laughter’s response paints a colorful bow

high above the cheerful blooms.
