Spring Showers

Trickle down my windowpane in March, April, and May producing assorted flora to perfume my room and brighten a dismal day. Flush green pollen so my asthma stays at bay and refresh stale air that hovers low and refuses to go away. Leave sudden heavy down- pours to deep oceans and lakes; renew green fields with spring showers for all that earth makes. Please I ask you come softly at night and lull a peaceful sleep; assuring no one wakes, leaving your pressure low, helping a tired old body to refuse its aches. Lightly shed your tears upon me, cleanse pores and rejuvenate the thirsty tree. Slowly pass spring showers over desert and dried lea, cool the air parched from bursts of post summer heat I plea, allowing moistening residue to flow to the sea… Copyright © 2013 By Caryl S.
