Rain and my verandah

There is a wonderful rain falling tonight, so
I sat on my verandah just listening and thinking.
Me, my dressing gown, my drink.
I do love it when it rains.
I was in love with summer this year.
No more.
My mind has shifted to winter.
To something colder.
The character of Brisbane winter is moderate.
It is kind.
Never too cold, sometimes a bit dry and this year it is a bit wet.
It has a depth of character that summer never could match.
So tonight on the evening before my dead Grandfather's birthday,
I say goodbye to summer and the memory of it's unfulfilled potential and
welcome in
what remains of this season.
