Listen to poem:

Rain

A billion
Droplets
Maybe more
That journey down
From skyward store
Replenishing our earthern floor

A million
Voices
Surely more
That cry and croon
With words they pour
Refreshing hearts a second task
As sky-fall heritage amassed 

We listen 
As you tumble down
Our hearts with joy you surely drown.
Your patter-tune since time began
Has played in wonderous heavenly plan
Cascades like no musician can

The gift
Of life you bring me, rain
In water, yes, but poet refrain
As land replenished,  touched in parts 
Seedlings, so endless story starts..
Thus tends to thirsty human hearts

Christopher, your lines are as refreshing to read as you so aptly refer to the replenishing nature of rain. Your voice has a soothing quality, equal to a gentle mist. A very enjoyable reading.
