Rainfall


rain falls steadily in the valley

in much need of it we are but

too much of it can ruin plans,

puddles form in the low areas

streams are created downhill

tree leaves turn yellow when

there is too much just like our

house plants...  barriers are

painted on the walls to keep 

it out and ditches outside to

steer it into another direction,

we dress in loose fitting clothes

and carry umbrellas yet we

still return home soaking wet,

clouds carrying the moisture,

move back and forth and up 

and down but never leave...

outside furniture is protected

with waterproof covering, yet

the metal continues to rust,

reminding us nothing lasts.
