Sunday Rain

The last Sunday of spring brought a downpour of rain.
I looked outside to see the earth flooded with water
so suddenly. It came down like cats and dogs. Even
when it was over, everything stayed wet for a few
more hours. Hints of summer rain, inklings of what's
to come in the forthcoming afternoons these next few
months. Every gray cloud must be taken into question.

The earth is green in preparation for summer. The
transition happened when everyone was distracted by
life's little interactions that no one remembers. But
now there's social media to display all the blooming 
flowers to people who don't care to see a variety of
plant colors. Though, people like as they scroll through
their feed of news and puppies and terrible things.

The rain helps bring the earth back to life. The 
vibrancy of bright colors with yellow, green, and pink
captures the eye's curiosity. The red on a flower and the red
on a berry is illuminating from afar that up closer I 
question if I'm really seeing. Sundays are for reflecting 
and reorganizing for the week to come. Yesterday was parting
ways with a beautiful season as we enter into the hot one.
