The Earth Gives Thanks

Leave a comment

A faint rumbling in the distance,

some trembling leaves,

branches dancing,

a door banging,

 

as unseen forces amble east

through the county.

Lily faces

turn upward

 

as rain swishes on padded feet,

gutters gurgle,

wood chimes chatter

the earth gives thanks.
