Soon after stopping the rain.



Soon after stopping the rain.

It was incessant rain
but was stop suddenly.
There was an abnormal silence
and I felt a hevenly peace.

Still water was droping,
like crystal dimond pieces
from the moist leaves into a pond,
and making a soothing sound.

The sun was peeping again
through the last layer of black clouds.
A kingfisher scooping into the water,
finding its prey on water layer.

The water reeds standing in water,
taking out their necks.
A sighing sound of air
let me know the rain was over.
