Tribute to the Rain...

I'd like to pose a tribute
to the sweetest, springtime rain.
As it runs all down my shoulders
I feel it wash away the pain
as water is the essence
of the life upon this Earth
I think of it as Angel tears
in joys they share together
to share a new creation in rebirth
The drops of rain that rest upon
the leaves of evergreens
show all of perfect nature
is more than what She seems
When it sprinkles and the sky is grey
the many shades of darker tones
appear to me
and shine so bright
imploring me to stay.
The rain that falls upon my cheeks
caresses me so soft and true
I lie upon the wet, wet grass
quite refreshed in soaking up the dew.
As the clouds soon break
and sun shall peak
and rain shall lessen so
the band of colors in the sky
give me hope
that this rain is not the last
so I cherish all the tears of heaven
in rememberance of showers past

a beautiful sprinkling
down the page
Jedi

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I love the rain, and love the wet-behind-the-ears-ness of this poem.
