Dreams of Rain

 
Rain is Coming by Sarah Webb


In hot, dry summer,
memories of spring,
a cooler time, 
bringing dreams of rain,
droplets wet and cool,
dripping from hair 
washed in an April shower,
droplets heralding the advance 
of warm breezes in summer,
drying wet towels wringing with sweat,
parching lips, cracking earth,
 heat radiates off the horizon,
wavering in the noon day sun, 
cloudless skies, 
harboring memories of spring, 
a cooler time, 
bringing dreams of rain.
