Rain
Glorious rain
Trees stretch
Leafless arms
Skyward embracing cloud
Sighing with contentment.
Rain
Healing rain
Gently washing dust
Of a season gone
From the weary shoulders of the world.
And in the hour before dawn
As birds sing in
The mist-shrouded sun
Rain
Sweet, sweet rain
Brushes my cheek as I sleep-wake
Whispering
"Awake! Awake!
A new day is begun.
Awake."
