The Rain is Coming

There is a stickiness in my eyes
a thickness in the air I breathe
the rain is coming

Dark clouds spread across the sky
turning blue to stormy grey
The sun tucks behind them
retiring early for the eve

The trees sway restlessly
birds flutter and caw
the rain is coming

On the porch
I peer out at the preserve
inhaling deeply, listening carefully
Waiting for the rain.
