Heavenly Crystals
Precious crystals heavenly perfumed...
Raindrops* quench parched lands of scorched scent
Creating refreshing blend with grassy redolence
Radiating hope of sweet harvest against malodorous dearth.
Celestial treasures from cottony clouds...
Raindrops soothe leaves in their anguish for rejuvenation
Softening sun-cemented earthy lawn
While cooling souls and warming hearts
Since showers of blessings are God’s answers to prayers.
*Zechariah 10:1 Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
