Rain...Life

The Heavens open up,

Finally...

As if they can no longer hold back

As if they know

They held back way too long

Now there's no relenting

They pour as if that's all they can do

Sometimes, a steady downpour,

Sometimes, a quiet drizzle 

Stopping now and then to catch a breath

The Earth parched and thirsty 

Takes it all in...Life depends on it 


The thick black clouds hover and linger 

Dark. Brooding. Contemplating

The Sun and Moon step back

Letting the Clouds have their way

The Heavens open up like never before

As if they know

They held back way too long

The waters fall and stumble 

Sometimes harming all that stands in their way

Sometimes cooling all that simmered once

Some good, some bad...some raging on

They must learn to flow...

To flow gently...

Carving new crevices and paths 

The waters learn to flow...to flow quietly 

Life learns to flow too...to flow quietly.
