After the rain has gone
There’s a clarity in the air
Reflections in the puddles
Of the blue sky now up there
I can feel my spirits rising
Now as the autumn has begun
As the colours of the reds and gold
Are embellished by the sun
There’s a fragrance all around me
Which wasn’t there before
Born of rain on soil and loam
On leaf-clad forest floor
My senses now on overload
I pause to wonder for a while
A brief respite that nature
Gives quite freely with a smile

Beautiful imagery and a wonderful and kind flow. Nice!
Thank you.
We all need to do more of that “pause to wonder for a while A brief respite that nature gives quite freely with a smile”
Lovely poem.
Thank you Emily.

Had to look that one up Paul – nice to have an actual word for it!
