Willliamsport Falls
Rain falls on Warren County;
refreshing and renewing as thunder rolls
across the Indiana plain;
washing leaves of weed and crop alike
with endless raindrops;
hushing the songbirds as they
huddle in the shelter of oak and willow.
Rain falls on Warren County
until the soil is saturated
and still the rain falls, seeking a path
of least resistance.
It runs between the rows and into waterways
making ripples in the soft green grass.
Rain falls on Warren County,
filling the watershed streams
until they overflow with the life-giving
ambrosia of Heaven.
And now the rain that began in a thundercloud
tumbles over the lip of the Williamsport Falls
and turns the bland peacefulness of a hidden park
into a thundering magnificence.
