1424

Soft, serene showers, unbound saplings reach the sky— yet, does the rain care?

Understandable, nature is fastidious, hence it soaks the ground wherein lie the roots, but there's sunshine as well, inhibiting the little ones and needing winds to help push around the big ones. Nice epithet, haiku, my compliments.

We all know "rain sometimes doesn't care" we only crave its soft, serene showers most times. Congrats.

Such a question! ... Methinks that the One who sends the rain cares, however.
