Under the Tree

One dripping day...

Dripping day

And gray skies

Black barked tree

With green leaves

Arched branches, interlaced

Reaching out to the world

The vibrant leaves drip

Letting old rain

finally fall.

Slight figure leans beneath

Pale and wan.

Bright green eyes

One point of color

full of like

introspective.

With a brooding certainty

she kicks the turf.

And the rain falls down.
