Rain

Sinking into the earth
rain crashes below,
lighting up the night
like little stars aglow.
Children lie in beds
while animals roam
dreaming sweet dreams,
busy bees working on their homes
Outside in the dark, rain patters loud:
pitter, patter, down, down, down.
Rain stretches out past the forest and past the grove.
Everyone’s quiet in the town.
