Rain

A droplet or two surprises your face,
           Misty, liquid-like lace...
             Early Spring shower, heavenly dew,
             Softens the earth, revives anew.

           Machine-gun bullets tempering a roof,
           Tempest's reproof...
             Torrents of memory cascading down,
             Drainpipes alive, gushing sound.  

           Trigger for sky-werks of lightning and thunder:
                  Prelude to awe and wonder.
