After the Rain

In late afternoon sun

once the rains have ceased

life recovers from the down pour

as the clouds move off to the east

holding its head up high

amongst the droplets found

refreshed from its sweet shower

with beauty restored all around

tears fall from its petals

that`s caught up in the breeze

appears to dance in the air

with such elegance and ease

thus a swish of bright scarlet

fresh colours that are so bold

as nature reveals her secrets

sweetness of sight to behold
