What Can’t a Walk in a Rainstorm Solve?

by James Burnworth

What can’t a walk in a rainstorm solve?

Pitter patter on pavement

Gutters gurgling away

Huge drops on your head

Trees trembling with delight

Fast-footed splashes

Without getting wet

Shoes you can submerge and

Watch the water wrap

Soon you are smiling

While wondering why

Dampness descends your pants

Your coat can’t take much more

But a calmness covers you

And turbid thoughts have cleared

You’ve been graced with the gentleness

Of a spring rainstorm spell.
