It has been a long, dry autumn here
leaves crunching underfoot
even more pronounced than usual
missing the usual scent
of rich earthy-leafy goodness,
"my" stream dry as a bone
even after a few earlier storms
But I am hopeful today
We woke to rain -
torrents - they would say
two inches an hour
a record of some sort
winds, too
It feels like relief to me
despite almost losing power
and needing to put off my morning walk
so I don't get soaked to the bone
I long to go outside
smell the earth waking up
feel the air ozone-fresh
see the stream flowing
experience something moving
in me, as well
breaking the drought
