Today we have the rain
Yet hardly a hint of breeze
And a silver grey
Seemingly cloudless sky
But it is true
We do have the rain
Free falling to splash on tin & tile
Calling us to stay indoors
Snuggle with a book
Listen to our favourite music
Watch the seals play
Make best of having a telescope
Feel the cool air on bare bodies
In preparation for a warm shower
He seeks out light
The light that we only see
On the painters canvas
In the photographers print
I seek out the sound
That we all might hear
Of raindrops on tin cans
From aeroplanes taking to the sky
In this way sight and sound are given back to us
The trickle of stream
The break in cloud
Our earthly atmospherics reflected
