Rain falls down…

Monday, July 16th, 2007

Rain falls down

hard on my bare head
oddly soothing to my heart
wetting my skin, the drops
splashing into puddles

as the sweat on my brow
dripping and flowing freely
become one with nature’s tears
swirls form into mirrored pools

a salve to the parched earth
opening up possibilities
rain falls down steadily
to quench my thirsting soul

Author’s Comments:

Rain falls for a reason, always. Whether it is to refresh the earth, grass, trees or us… or feed and quench a thirst….there’s a reason. When we get rained on, it is up to us, how we take it. Be like children and rejoice in the rain for the good it does or, see nothing but grey skies and dark clouds.
Ever notice how things seem to grow more after the rain? And how grass, seem to be greener? One can only hope and pray, that we take the times we get rained on and let it be a time to be refreshed, fed and grow in our faith and life.
