Nourishment - 1

Pouring down the pane, singing It’s the praise of soft rain Gentle, like a sweet kiss falling On whispering, hopeful lips Gracious and gifted with faith Painting the countryside in hues Of misty gray music, forgiving Thriving on the nourishment It drenches with life, a pure diet On black earth and vibrant petals Caressing, like laughter Dancing on the hope of a hereafter When tears so timidly mingled With showers of simplicity Feelings of mystery, sensitive To the breath of God sending us Remedies to our worries, our doubts Captured on the drops of belief Sprinkling compassion through Dreams and promises of a moment When His love will pour out A blessing more wholesome than Any downpour from the heavens
