Rain

beads of crystal
on pine needles glistening
a swishing stream nearby
somewhere not too far away
you too must be listening

you too must be knowing
though not seeing
believing

you're here as i'm there
connected by rain
how it always takes me home

by David Leo
from The Secret Life of a Dragonfly (2024)
