After the Storm

The sweet soft smell of rain
runs her fingers through the forest.
The mist retreats silently to the sea.
A tree,
bathed by the gentle rain,
scatters the sun’s bright rays
into the forest.
Lichen-covered branches,
framed sharply
against a fresh blue sky,
shimmer.
Nature holds her breath
as if admiring
her own beauty –
the shroud of silence
broken only
by the drip-dropping tears
falling
from leafless branches.
