Farmer's Almanac...

And now the Heavens open
and the Deluge begins in earnest
the Sky is crying
but the Earth is sighing
for so long it had felt the thirst...
Now slaked, refreshed
and newly awakened,
the grass will grow quicker
in the days to come,
the wetness will seep
the moisture will keep
as approaching Autumn
washes down the hill
mingling with leaves already fallen
the harbinger of color to come...
