A Wet Weather Day

I took some time out for a drive It was a different kind of day The road was wet with rain As it puddled atop the clay The air was fresh from a downpour Settling the dust and the grime Steam was rising from the water I enjoy this kind of day every time I looked across a flowery meadow At an old barn that I dearly love Been empty for many a year To critters it's a warm treasure trove For the mice and the rabbits settle Into its unused and empty folds When you think a barn is empty You'd be surprised at what it holds But this day was the kind to just wander About as you look at the scenes The road a bit soupy with water Is the slow kind of day that I mean I didn't have a particular direction Just enjoyed the soppy wet weather Slowed down the pace to a crawl So thoughts and dreams I could gather!
