clouds emptied of rain -
the radiance of Poui
in its aftermath
✿
coolness of the night -
to quiet sliver of light
upward gaze to moon

Its Ascension Sunday, and yesterday, Saturday, we had a nice cooling shower of rain during the day; a preface of our rainy Season which should start in June.

When the clouds empty themselves of rain, so many things change, sometimes for the worse, but often for the better.
