The Sun In The Gray Clouds

The sun in the gray clouds is hidden away And the dark welcome swallows are flying low today It has rained heavily this morning and more rain seems near The Southern March as weather goes a changeable time of year Last night from my bed i could hear the frogs sing Their songs of change in the weather to me it did bring From listening to Nature insights we do gain The tiny amphibians always sing before and during rain The day sunless and cool with a freshening cool breeze And the dark currawongs singing on the tall trees They are Nature's forecasters of rain, sleet or snow Of pending change in the weather some birds seem to know The gray clouds of rain are in the evening sky And low above the ground the welcome swallows fly.
