"Rain"

-

It was cold and it was warm

Intense serenity

Under shear opaque power

World turning and torrential

-

Halting at nothing,

Easing just the same

-

Steady and elegant

But intermittent and free

Free to zigzag

Following the lines

-

Clean the air

To perfume it with wonder

-

Creating and stealing

The life it makes

Following its own laws,

Serving us all

-

Silent, still

To a pounding dream

And still, still it goes on
