Love,Justice,Wisdom and Power

Love, Justice, Wisdom and Power,
cardinal qualities of God,
raining down on us all in a copious shower.

We can embrace them all,
drinking them in, til we're soaking wet.

Or shield ourselves from them,
running in avoidance,
living life in perpetual regret.

Nice use of rain as a metaphor. Your word choices elegantly define what you wish to capture and convey to the reader. Emile.
