Heavy West Coast Rain Poem by Terence George Craddock

how heavy
West Coast
rain now falls?

how heavy
upon
house windows?

how heavy
upon
metal homestead roofs?

first spits
of rain
pass unheard

like a soft dream
silent wings feathers
mind fluttering songs

first pitter-patter
liquid rain drops
quick light steps

first rapid heavy
fall builds
into iron roofs
thunder thunders
drumbeat crescendos

how heavy while decades
of reborn memories sing
sing to beloved memories

of heavy falling rains
transforms blink enchanted
scenic glades bluff roads

fast leaps
downpours
rain seeds

flood memories
love in rapid runoff
streams rivers creeks

running in silver summer
sunshine to my homeland seas
to cold chilling winter rains
