Headstall's Reflections - 34. Chapter 34 Fall Rain
Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 34 Fall Rain
How I love the smell of fall rain
And the symphony it plays with drops
Soothing caresses for my brain
And moisture for the next year's crops
Containing a mixture of nature's gifts
Reminding us all of where we fit
While warning of impending drifts
And how we all must do our bit
Speaking to the naturalist in me
Smells of adieu and scents of hello
A promise and a desperate plea
Before it all is blanketed in snow
Protect this earth the patter drums
Because in the end she's all we've got
Burrow in when winter comes
But don't forget the damage wrought
Imagine a world where rain doesn't fall
Where ‘glacier’ is just an old word
And grey clouds cast a constant pall
Imagine a world where rain isn't heard
Big city rain lacks most earth smells
That send a message to our souls
Instead it brings chemicals to our wells
That invade our planet like evil moles
Another scent-laden breath I will draw in
And listen to our mother’s splendor
Hoping we strive to correct grievous sin
And do whatever it takes to mend her
