Notes About The Poem

Written on July 13, 2026

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Monsoon

Rain, blessing away the past
Rushing beads, a gentle song
Laughing at skies, overcast

Almost a prayer, spoken
Lips who have prayed all along
Whispers to a heart, broken

Stirring the spirit, in waves
Clouds floating by, is it wrong?
Flowing over the lost graves

Winds caress the trees, blowing
Leaves swaying, so brave and strong
Night kisses streams who’re flowing

Echoes on edge of starlight
Drizzling showers who belong
Drifting on the still of night

Jewels like light, hearts who know
Heaven has healed by birdsong
Timeless notes of joy, so slow

Erasing the host of dust
Fallen on those so headstrong
This rainfall blesses the just

Silent nights beneath sprinkles
Gentle tears, faith to prolong
As souls feel high, eye twinkles

With music from the rain’s tune
Singing praise all the daylong
Not so dire as a monsoon
