Rain

Rain.... come softly, falling, misting, Irrigate this thirsty land Water quiescent seeds Buried deep within their earthen tombs Of mud and clay

Audrey, I always have a great respect for rain. It can be so romantic, food to the ground and crops, a cooling of the heat when time is too hot, but can be a curse to a nation as well. Whichever form it comes in, rain is intriguing. This, a nice write on the positive benifits of rain. May you have your soul-rain always. Love and blessings. Joy (Jew)

That sounds like our province we had so much rain this year that we did not know what to do with it. The water level was so high that it was sitting on top because it had no where to soak in. This poem reminds me of that and now we just got a snow storm which is very early this year. God Bless Phyl

Well written and nice imagery, Audrey! We had too much rain in August and September (what cause floodings) but now it is sunny, only too cold for this time of the year!...Gert:)

Rain is so important to the health of our planet, Audrey. What a beautifully written poem about the element that awakens seeks from their "earthen tombs." Excellent, my dear! Love, Carolyn
