Showers spilling through the sunbeams, <br />Refreshing the parched earth below, <br />Filling up all the thirsty streams, <br />That meander along, oh, so slow. <br /> <br />Washing away all the grey dust, <br />Which has settled on flowers and leaves, <br />Brightening their wonderful colours, just <br />To show us the magic it weaves. <br /> <br />With galoshes and bright red umbrella, <br />And waterproof capes, we're just fine, <br />One needs to have, a repeller, <br />When this land becomes estuarine. <br /> <br />Having splashed about in each puddle, <br />Which we've found along the lane, <br />We stand under the brolly and cuddle, <br />To the pattering raindrops refrain. <br /> <br />When all the showers have departed, <br />And sunbeams start warming the ground, <br />No way are we left downhearted, <br />For they've left us, something so profound. <br /> <br />A Beautiful World! <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/something-so-profound/
