Wonderful Rain

Grey clouds lie low to yield
wonderful rain to fall
and grant me the sky's secrets unsealed
translation fuzzy and all

Wishes go like vapor in your hand
can't keep a perfect moment
or ever wring out all the good in demand
but maybe we can rent

Picture and song plant inside
a little light to enjoy
a smiling girl is the father's pride
a brave boy is a mother's joy

Wonderful rain
I'm looking at the painting
and drawing from it
wonderful rain
small comforts to be gained

Love belongs in everyone
in every open soul
even when one is alone and lonely
hope of love can fill the hole

Wonderful rain
awakening from dreams
to the scent of
wonderful rain
giving all my hopes a name

A man need not kneel
to receive life's blessings
transcendent rain will make you feel
like you can do anything

Look and find in the grey
wonderful rain to fall
a secular baptism to wash all fear away
so you can walk tall

"a secular baptism to wash all fear away"

Oh, I loved that line above Soul Drifter. A lovely, cleansing piece. Very much enjoyed.

Best wishes,
