Approaching Rain


The flat grey sky spoke of the possibility of rain.  Undulating fields of grain reached upward waiting for the life giving moisture to descend. The landscape is still, waiting. 

Insects filled the air with their rasping buzz as I pass through the tall grass, seeking to finish their tasks before the approaching rain drives them away.  A momentary break in the blanket of clouds sent a beam of sunlight earthward to shimmer on the stand of trees in the distance. 

I headed toward the trees with a quickened pace seeking shelter of my own before I continued my journey home.
