The rain comes in--By Richard Carl Subber--United States

The rain comes in

The rain comes in, spattering, thin,
            staining high sand, sparing the lee.
Seabirds aloft, lifting, drifting,
            unhurried, as they scan the sea.
The rain comes in,
            then fades, silence,
                     my delight is quiet in me.

    1. Thanks, Chris, I read your piece "The Eagle" a few days ago, if you can manage "gliding peacefully" with 20 grandchildren sharing your life, there must be more poetry in that!
