Rain Coming Down

Gently on my window sill

Tiny pellets sound their voices

Telling me the clouds are weeping,

Giving up their provender.

 

Nestled soundly in my chair

I hark and happily rejoice in

The cycle of life-giving rain

Those fleeting melodies infer.

 

In the distance, faint but growing,

Rolls on rolls of thunder grumble.

Praying that the storm clouds slacken,

Feeling frayed and slightly humble.

 

But the rain, my fervent friend,

Speaks with unrelenting ease,

Seeking shallows to be filled

To nourish flowers, fields and trees.

 

In the grand scheme, in the end,

There is really nothing like the sound

Of the tender murmuring of

Sleepy rain coming down.
