SEPTEMBER RAIN
The wash of rain - cleaning the dust
off my blue car - clearing the sidewalk -
soaking the grass and the brown fields -
great sound on the porch and the patter
on leaves - seeing the defiance of grey
gravestones - hearing the musical swish -
the back and forth of windshield wipers -
appreciating living in the northeast -
knowing those in the southwest who
once lived in the northeast - miss their
roots and the fall of rain - on so many
a September day till the dislike of cold rain -
but like many things in life, that’s not yet.

So true about enjoying this rain, as I cut the grass in my home and clocked in over 5 miles while the mist was falling and a wonderful breeze thanks to Dorian. I couldn't help to reminisce of my beautiful island of Puerto Rico and made me feel that I was begin blessed by the remains of Dorian while doing my yard work.
It is raining here today and it was nice to read your thought and hear SEPTEMBER RAIN .
I had forgotten that song .
It is delightful to have rain after a hot summer . Looking forward to October and more falling leaves .
