Soft Rain

Free Verse

As a soft rain kisses the earth

With a pleasant kiss

And

A gentle breeze coaxes the wind chimes

To play their best

All God's earth rejoices

As water its dry throat refreshes

Sing, oh earth, a new song of praise

Let each bird sing hallejuah

Sparrows, crows, Mockingbirds bounce

From limb to branch and sip a raindrop

To refresh their dry throat and lip

Cedars and oaks, pines and poplar soak

And bathe with raindrops drizzling moisture

Release a song, oh trees, upon the wind

Let the rustle of dampened leaves float upon the wind

Birds enjoy the chorus of the trees

And tingle of windchimes in the breeze

 

Author's Note

Out on the porch enjoying the rain after about a month with no rain...

"bathe with raindrops drizzling moisture

Release a song, oh trees, upon the wind

Let the rustle of dampened leaves float upon the wind"

I'm bathing in the beauty of this poem...:)

The sights and sounds you convey are simply perfection to the heart and soul. I can feel the peace flooding the world in this moment of gentle rainfall.
