right as rain

The gentle spring rain continues

Incessantly dripping down moisture

All day yesterday and into this morning

Predicted to linger here until tonight


The soil soaks up the sweet liquid

Where my seeds will soon germinate

The trees drink deeply sprouting new growth

And I am content to watch from inside


A hummingbird stops by our waiting feeder

Seeking a sip of sugar in the cold and wet

And I go out briefly to replenish the suet tray

Tending to our local avian inhabitants


A disappointment for those with outdoor plans today

Who have looked forward to weekend time off

May the splash of raindrops wash away your dismay

Thankful for this not the desperate drought out west


The expression right as rain comes to mind

Taking liberties with the original meaning

Appreciating the nourishment descending to earth

Filling our reservoirs with life's precious water
