Raindrops calm the restless waves and chided ocean towers
Soothing showers sheet the beds of winsome lingered hours
Not the silence of the snows, melodic in review
As if to draw the senses in, to harmony on cue

A spellbound kind of moment, supple in the feel and trill
Symptomatic moist to balm the chapped by fever will
Spoken in a common tone, a neutral wish to grow
As if the seedlings everywhere can hear and so too know

What inner rains that might suggest a somber deluge flood
Will soon succumb within the drum of timed beats in the blood
But not to wane the rivers drain and fill but to the tears
As if preview of seasons due, announced as April nears

First, the title is wonderful!  Of course I looked at it several ways...it even feels good to say aloud!  Then the poem?  A !!

This is lovely. April showers bring May flowers as they say. Enjoyed. Chris
