Sssshhh, gently now, gently,
Love, the slippered guest,
the tender trespasser,
enters the house of wet leaves,
softly, finger pressed to asking lips,
no more questions, just this:
the sound of rain, pealing,
to bless storied thirst.

    a fellow blogger and I were just sharing about our love for rain.
    This is wonderful. (And happy birthday 🙂 )
    (I love Taos. It’s been years since we visited there, but I will never forget)
