fledgist | for coming rain

no matter what there's no reason to shout

with joy or anger since the rules are neat

and clear not heavy in this summer heat

we have no reason now for fear or doubt

just worry at the thought of coming drought

and utter silence in the noontime street

while on the air so many voices bleat

but none can tell us what it is about

upon the ground a shadow and a sign

of what the times have shown and what they mean

to those who read the signals straight and plain

yet we are waiting since the shades align

to form a boundary just past the seen

where those inside may sigh for coming rain
