Ten days of rain

Seems like ages
the last time I saw a ray of sunshine,
its been raining
for days, weeks, months.
Earth seems to be soaking up
quenching her eternal thirst
I stand and watch from my window
listening,
birds tucked away in trees,
heads buried in their chest,
trees, helpless,
like a student punished,
like a soldier on guard,
yet standing tall
pools and patches on land,
I tread carefully,
thankfully its not been too gushy,
the umbrella still holds.
