Rain Washes Anew

Inspired by my love of the rain.

The pitter patter of rain against glass

Rhythmically singing of nature's grace

Washing away that which has come to pass

Revealing anew a wonderous place.
Mixed tears that fall from clouds up above

Echoes of the memories of the year

Of life and of death, of sadness and love

Precious moments with those that we hold dear.

Facing the future, beginning anew

With all of our friends, at our side they stand

And those that have gone ahead that we knew

Leaving memories we keep close at hand.

Falling raindrops cascading on flowers

Through the rain we dance, the cleansing showers.
