Rain

Listen to poem:

A billion Droplets Maybe more That journey down From skyward store Replenishing our earthern floor A million Voices Surely more That cry and croon With words they pour Refreshing hearts a second task As sky-fall heritage amassed We listen As you tumble down Our hearts with joy you surely drown. Your patter-tune since time began Has played in wonderous heavenly plan Cascades like no musician can The gift Of life you bring me, rain In water, yes, but poet refrain As land replenished, touched in parts Seedlings, so endless story starts.. Thus tends to thirsty human hearts Jinjagoliath 18th August 2023

Christopher, your lines are as refreshing to read as you so aptly refer to the replenishing nature of rain. Your voice has a soothing quality, equal to a gentle mist. A very enjoyable reading.
