Rain on a Summer Morning

It’s not Gentle

A summer morning
The rain pelts
Beating the earth
Pelting the flowers
Innocent blooms
Shattered

A summer morning
The rain yells
In loud thunderous shouts
Lightening counterfeits
The dawn

A summer morning
Rough and coarse
Steaming vapor
Heralding

The fragrance
Of earth and asphalt
