Colors of Rain

Today a steady drizzle

rains upon the land

dripping from the sagebrush

puddling in the sand

A constant soak of moisture

covers the terrain

and across the shrub-steppe foliage

shine the colors of the rain:

red stems of the saskatoon berry

bright green of each feathery moss

beneath blue grey of evergreen sagebrush

and the dark trunks of the bitterbrush

some miss the trees of the forest

and its protective canopy

but I love the smell of winter’s sage

as a walk in this pleasantry,

a gift of nature’s rainfall

the colors of tranquility.
