The day was dark
And clouds hung low
The drizzle had just
Stopped its flow
Silent winds
Smattered my face
With scattered drops
Still flying around
Dull and dark
Gloomy and stark
The houses around
Stood very still
And as I bent
Down at my feet
Streams of water
Ran around
Tiny little frogs
Hopped with joy
And amidst the stones
A lonely leaf
Waved in the winds
And gave a smile.
