The earth
parched,
the need for rain
evident.
The ground
begs,
to feel the touch of rain
necessary.
With a clap
thunderous,
the heavens open
relinquishing.
This land
drinks,
from the well of life
refreshed.

(smiles) Ooohhhhhhh...this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, there is nothing more refreshing than a light rainstorm to quench the Earth and all of Mother Nature for us all! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Donna, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

It seems your rain song brought about that which was so needed.
Good work!

Deer it is a neverending cyle that mother earth goes through.  Thanks
for the stop by.

Actually it was that which was so needed that brought my words
Sandra.  Thanks, you are in my thoughts.

Gentle spirit this is beautiful, in England you know we have plenty of rain. This is a beautiful piece of writing I could actually hear the rain, it is raining outside, but I could have heard the rain without it being so. Thank you really good writing

Love and warm stuff

barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows

This poem says well what much of us have been
in need of over the past couple of years..
I am thankful to say we have had our share
