 Poems from "Plant the Seed" by Jon Turner

                               Post 4 - Austin

I watched the rain drops fall to the earth

nourishing the desert sand,

dancing down from the heavens

bringing a feeling of peace

during a time of war.

The barrel of a gun

slightly overhung from the sandbags

in which it rested,

collecting the drops of water

steering my mind from negative thoughts,

reminding my soul of the

simple pleasures of life,

                    such as watching the rain fall.
