Spirit Rain

Sometimes on our journey in life our rivers will run dry
But when we look above we'll see an abundance of sky
Fullness of splendor demonstrated in brilliance of hues
Painted on desert nightfall in auburns mixed with blues

Sometimes we can fail to notice as waters form above
Because difficult circumstances can starve out our love
We can get focused on the earth as heaven grows dim
When we deny the ocean of blessings that flow in Him

Sometimes far away separate from the chaotic crowds
Vapors of intercessory prayer assemble like the clouds
Showers of prosperity start to ease our souls from grief
Then God's Spirit like the rain floods out all our unbelief

Everything seemed to be crashing down on me today, by chance (?) i stumble on this wonderful remider that He's still there...handling it all. I'm a big fan of rain, and it's symbolism in my faith...it seems like everytime i get to the end of my rope, and it's fraying...a storm happens through...and i go sit in the rain for a bit, and come inside feeling like my issues are gone. Your poem reminded me of that.

Through the dryness of spirit, he draws us to despair of our own resources and then prayer (often painfully and slowly) begins then builds. These are the "vapors and clouds" that coalesce and bring in the rain of God to our thirsy spirits.

very good poem.
The same has been happening to me.
