Gentle rain falling,

covering the trees

with much needed moisture

trees close, boughs forming

a canopy over a small glade

though clouds cover the sun

the glade is bright,

the green of healthy spring

not drenched like the trees

magic in the moment of discovery

rabbits listen and shelter

among the fronds of low

plants thriving in the shade of

trees, bushes, and fern-like growth

making homes for other creatures

providing rest and replenishment

for the creatures sharing the glade

and refreshment for the plants

from gentle moisture forming small puddles

showing the magic of life interconnected
