Clouds over us today,
clouds that do not belong to us
or this high desert,
clouds carried by a hurricane,
a gift of the ocean and the sun.
Clouds promise rain,
but have not yet.
Clouds sweeping away
the last memories of summer
from the earth and sky.
Sparrows chatter together
in the trees and bushes,
then hunt for seeds as one.
Is their excitement
created in the clouds?
Is it today
or the season?
I watch the clouds
covering us today
and wait for whatever
falls from the sky.

Nice! We just receive a good amount of rain out here in the high desert. Loved your performance with your dulcimer guitar.
