The sky is lit with flashes of bright light 
That herald the arrival of the rain 
The earth exhales a scent of fresh delight 
As petrichor revives the thirsty plain 

The newborn calves, oblivious to fear 
Rejoice in their first taste of water's grace 
They skip and play and frolic without care 
And splash their hooves in every muddy place 

Along the high hedged lane, the bats emerge 
To hunt the moths that flutter in the dark 
They dart and swoop with agile skill and urge 
And catch their prey with echolocation's mark 

This is the scene that fills my heart with joy A simple glimpse of nature's harmony
