After the Rain

The air washed clean and clear...rainfall fresh and brisk.
Sandia snow packs the mountain tops and dusts
the lesser summits with icy powder.

Breathe...damp earth and currents of westerly winds.
Watch...geese glissade across the golden pond
Marvel...at cranes hearing my song and daring to come closer.

A low ceiling of clouds moves in...
A sudden hail storm startles!
She runs for cover wearing a big smile.
