Let It Rain, Let It Rain, Let It Rain! Poem by RIC BASTASA

Let It Rain, Let It Rain, Let It Rain!



Siberia breathes its cold air
southward to the Pacific
down into our archipelago, and
so the nights are longer and the days are getting shorter
and it rains and rains and rains
seemingly without stopping and i am caught
shivering under the nipa roof inside the wooden house
facing a mountain through a window
a world drenched in water
wet season everywhere
mud and flooding rivers
buffaloes relaxing and white herons resting on their backs
between the drizzle
i sit and watch the beauty of the tropical countryside
the trees and hills and huts and houses
and horses and cows...

no snow, and not that harshly cold, this Eden
of the orient seas!
