How I welcome the rain pouring
down on this grey and gloomy day
for it is as if I have never been away
from South Wales and the green,
green grass of my all too distant home.
Yet Taiwan is an arid land and this rain
falls on the high school’s artificial lawn
with the sun’s searing heat soon to return
making this brief interlude a deceptive scene,
my thoughts of home insubstantial as a dream.
