After the rain

it's always lovely to walk by the river after the rain
swelled by water brown with run off
with hungry monitor lizards on the look out 
After the rain its a time of change 
for creatures to peer out and assess 
the mood 
when trees are full of birds like so many leaves standing upright 
when water droplets bead the leaves like diamond
when trees look they have stepped out of the shower
there leaves wet and fresh 
when I gently kick a fallen fruit past the mulchy leaves and into the water with a plop and splash so loud, and wonder 
how have I changed the course of nature today
if I hadn't kicked it in, what would have become of it, and its off springs
and now that I have, how will the trajectory if its life and off spring change?
I play god for a minute or more likely god is playing me still for
