Rain 030103
It rained today.
An unwelcome welcome deluge
That got past the shelters
Found its way round walls
Splattered me
Oh joy!
That rain that washed
the grime from the plants
Has cleansed the fears
From within my heart
Wet
And sticky
I grinned
Knowing somehow that
The sunshine would be
All the brighter for the storm
After parching dryness comes
An astonishing downpour
And I am elated
By the sun in my life
Whose rays touched me
Today
It rained
We cultivate a garden
Sunshine, Rain, Moonshine
The greater Light of the world
Guiding our steps
This seed will grow.
HE planted it.
HE shines above it.
HIS rain waters it.
It only leaves us
to wait
to wait
to wait
for fruit.
But for now I smile
at lower things.
It rained today.
