October Rain

I hadn’t given
Much thought
To the difference
Between Spring
Showers and
Autumn rains
Until today’s
Much needed
Precipitation
I could smell
Its approach
Last evening
In the cool air
Preparing for
A steady fall
All-day, gently
Drawing attention
To the hues
Of the season
Giving a final burst
Of color to leaves
Before they fall
A sweet reminiscence
From the very beginning
When Spring showers
Soaked the ground
Giving life to
The seed waiting
Ready to grow
Having no idea
What a beautiful
Life it would live

  1. Kelley, this is so beautiful! It describes how I felt about the coming rain after so many weeks without it. I’ll now think of Autumn Rains in such a different way. You have such a way with words. Stay blessed and take care my friend. 💛🍂🥰🤗
