Light Desert Rain
the light dims
flashes in the west
thunder rolls
breezes freshen
pitterpatters
in the dust
blows over
in a gust

PS: This has been the driest monsoon season on record so far… only a month to go ’till its end…; -/

I’m glad you’re pleased to hear from me, especially since I just dropped off the face of the Earth with no explanation. It’s good to reconnect with old friends. 😊 Things are still rocky at home but have settled down a little. Makes writing and painting easier.

I’m glad to hear it. I wasn’t too surprised when you dropped off the last time. After all, it wasn’t the first. I’m very pleased that you didn’t ‘drop off’ permanently…; -)

Depression and stress can make a person do crazy things…more than once. 🤪Thank you for your continued friendship, Liam.
