The rain falls overhead
softly pattering
soothing
caressing
A melodious symphony of nature
beginning
quietly
gaining
intensity
until a
steady, constant downpour
A wonderous, private concert
experienced
only by open ears
Music from the heavens so precious
I listen,
enraptured
cherishing
the experience
Slowly tapering off
until just
the last lingering drops
gently land
on the ground
and then
just a memory
lingering
in the air
The rain falls on my head
mingling
on my face
with tears
easing my
pain
my grief
Water provides sustenance,
an essential
ingredient for life,
It nourishes the earth
and my withered
heart.
Healing my loss
Washing away my sorrow
Restoring my soul.
