Even the sky needs to cry, Needs to release what it's holding inside Even the trees understand why Though we would rather drown than die The puddles in the streets reflect the sky, But we are concerned about mud on our shoes. Children laugh and play in the wetness See? I say, the adults don't get this The sun on your back is the heavens' kiss If you don't feel it, how much you miss Sun and rain both foster bliss, But we would like sun all the time. Even the thunder needs to break, Needs to give and needs to take Even the insects beauty make While we wait outside of heaven's gate The earth and the sky harmonize with the lake, But we turn a deaf ear to their song. Mother Nature shows her face In all she dreams and then creates She weaves her intricate web of fate And directs the course our lives will take Though we worry that it's too late, We hope our growth is guided. In every leaf on every tree Is the signature of a man referred to as He Who made lame beggars walk and blind men see And who isn't so different from you or me He gives his gifts selflessly, gives them for free, And all we have to do is receive them. |

So very beautiful Pearls..... Bonnie "In every leaf on every tree Is the signature of a man referred to as He Who made lame beggars walk and blind men see And who isn't so different from you or me He gives his gifts selflessly, gives them for free, And all we have to do is receive them. " |

My-my Pearls, This is Awesome!! Not only does it flow beautifully but it is something I may try and memorize. The leaf's signature! Every line and verse gives me something to ponder and makes me more conscious of things often taken for granted. This is great writing, my friend. Love, Marcy |

This is some deep thought! You've brought it out well! Lots of things here I haven't though about before. It's great to have different persepectives, to make one think on things in a different way! Thanks!  <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |

Thanks everyone! Alle-cram - Wow, you might memorize it? Boy, I think that's the first time someone's said that to me about my poetry! Thanks! WhtDove - Really? What ideas did it bring up that you hadn't thought of before, if you have a sec to fill me in? Thanks to you too! |

A beautiful, touching poem. I often think about the rain as God's tears and as heaven weeping. A very wise poem, indeed, people, for the most part, would like sunshine all the time, but, it's the hard things that make us stronger and growth comes with the rain Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Pearl~ This is just a lovely render. 'In every leaf on every tree Is the signature of a man referred to as He' Such a thoughtful phrase. I'm so pleased to have read the beauty here. He signs His name each dawn to lay across the beauty of the day and night. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

 It's wonderful when "We" can get back into the rhyme of things and see all the beauty God has for us through receiving the gift of His Spirit which opens our eyes to a whole new heavenly world of innocence and closeness with Him. I am one of those who get out of rhyme with God and I grumble about such things as the rain, but He does keep an open door policy and I do run for His shelter quite often... Anyway, I like your poem and your rhyming scheme is very clever. Bob <>< |

Thanks Marge and Bob! Yeah, I've never used this rhyme scheme before or since and I didn't even try to use it at the time - it just came out that way as they usually do. I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about. Or do you guys edit your poetry? I've always been interested in other people's methods of writing. Ashley (Pearls) |
