Nurturing As Love

Trickling down the unblemished glass Window, squeaky clean and clear, …comfortingly still Quiet as the gentle healing From the splatter of raindrops who whisper In soft dripping, soothing, tempting The soul to breathe, to kneel Praying easily to the One who is… Creator, Spirit, Strength Streaming down the heart, the soul Liquid light, promise of hope, Renewing the world, refreshing With a moist smile, fading the hues Caressing the stillness, like a miracle Easing the darkness, erasing Starlight and moon song, denying …kisses stirred by hunger For the wonder of a life set aside To worship the king of grace The One who made this fluid, Melting away the doubts, the pains The sorrows that abide in the heart Who knows that rain refreshes and Awakens the silence of a gentle fate Soaking the dreams with intimacy Insight into the future who believes There will be faith beyond belief Joy to wipe away the suspicion, the hesitation Who abides inside the spirit of uncertainty Coloring the mind in a sea of tranquility …filling life with waves of fealty Promising the future to always be Stirred by opportunity, the sea Who is nourished by the starlight And the rain, shadowed by thunder Trembling with the vibrancy of lightning Cutting the skies into shards, reflecting The beauty rain showers command With their unshaking hand Pouring down, in torrents of meditations Flowing, rich with details – elements Knowing the facts, the features, the flavors Indignities who quack at the sound Saturated by beauty who soothes and moves Drenching the fresh, new world … in breathless sighs Alibis who reveal to the truth It is rain, the caress of its watery Welcome who knows that only God Could create this nurturing stroke of love Raining down on the heart and soul The conviction that He is always in control Inspiring Rainy Days Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Sotto Poet November 8, 2022
