Respite

The promised rain brings some respite
The gumtrees release a perfumed sigh 
The air shakes itself clear of ashes
Dogs and owners roam in the cool sunset
The crickets song fills the twilight zone
The grass shyly dresses in green again
Our walking pace gains in friskiness
The river is sparkling anew
The distant hill line is back 
Planted firmly on the edge of the horizon
Galas and parakeets graze together
The breeze is soft and light
 Autumn is on its way, what a relief!
