Water From The Sky

The rain is not something
 to be dampened lightly
with dismissal of a lousy day

To some it is comfort
in sound, and others
it cleanses the sky that pollutes
our air

It is nourishment to our grounds
in dire need of moisture
deep beneath the surfaces
that makes everything grow

Rain is the shower
that cleanses the great outdoors
the cool refreshing smell
left lingering...

Rain is a blessing
a special gift abound
sometimes arriving in full force
destroying all around...

It is a life of passage
from time to time
announcing it's arrival
loud and crackling
accompanying in tunes
rain is said to be the tears of God
upset with all we do...

It is a new beginning 
in it's wake of coming through.
