When Showers Turn to Rain...

Sunset sun shower,
     the blue, the grey
just enough to wet the grass
     and wash the dust away
That dank and dusty smell
     with eyes closed you can still tell
in the distance, hills speckled in sunshine
    as the river intertwines between them
winding, slowly to the sea....

In a moment, all is grey,
     this will not soon go away
The shower's turned to rain,
     leaves drip water once again
A moist and musky smell
    the difference you can tell
a little water goes a long way
     in determining your day

After an hour, the shower turned to rain is done
     too late for the return of the sun
gone as quickly as begun
     all that's left is the wetness glistening
as the street lights come flickering on....
