The beautiful countryside.
The stunning views.
The villages and towns - are all still there
but they wait
'neath the dark
grey
skies.
Children ask why they're not going out
of parents
making hasty
changes to plans.
as the rain
in streaks
runs down the windows
of the Shepard's hut
and heavy rain drops
clang
on the curved
tin
roof
on this
very
rainy
day
