...this April Day in Tappan, New York ~ Taken By The Wind

thunderous rain and darkened sky
waters sounding and cascading
rooftops and roadways holding to water's flow
the torrential rains of Spring bathe each bloom
budding leaves of green and flowers in bright array
hues of grandeur taken by the wind in embracing flight
this palette of bloom, this palette of light.
