Rain And Things

It has rained in waves all night
Thunder roared; lightning flashed its light
Snuggling down under the covers
My sanity trying to recover

Wondering about the wild things plight
Infinitesimal birds and all resting sights
God keep them safe as thunder shakes
And preserve us lest we break

The rain is needed to make a crop
It fills the creeks with each drop
Flowing, flowing on ahead
Joins another creek outspread

Soon the river will be filled
And there will be blooms from daffodils
All the trees will become spring green
And of my love I'll truly dream

April will shake her rain drenched hair
So May flowers' scent will fill the air
Early plants in the garden will be ready
We'll gather them though our balance unsteady

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 2/13/2024 2:49:00 AM - We never lack rain in Norway ... all seasons have a lot of rain ... now we have half a meter of snow ... lovely poem, Sara :) - hugs Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/13/2024 7:05:00 AM Anne-Lise, I guess in most cold climates when it gets cold instead of snow, it snows. I don't know how people deal with it though. You are stronger than me. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 2/12/2024 6:40:00 PM Dearest, Sara your poem beautifully captures the essence of a rainy night and the hope it brings for renewal and growth. The imagery of thunder, lightning, and the soothing rhythm of raindrops eloquently shows nature's power and beauty. Your concern for the safety of the smallest creatures amidst the storm reflects a deep connection to the world around you. The anticipation of blooming flowers evoke a sense of optimism and longing. Loved every word! I Always Enjoy Reading Your Poems: - Blessings, Daniel Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/13/2024 2:38:00 AM I do have hope Daniel. Maybe sun today. I think something happened after I went to sleep last night because the clocks were messed up this morning which says the electricity went off at some point. Thanks for your kind review and the Blessings. Sara K

Sam Kauffman Date: 2/12/2024 12:30:00 PM Sara, you have written beautifully of the power of hope - the power of restoration and the power of nature to put everything in order! Such impactful and powerful images. We still need rain but it looks like we are in for several wet days at the end of this week. I love to hunker down at night and listen to the cadence of life in raindrops. Blessings and prayers. Hopefully it isn't time to stock the ark!

Our creek was slightly out of its banks at some point. We got around 6 inches of rain in less then 24 hours. They say we will continue to get rain until around 7 tonight and then wind will start up. Thanks for dropping by. Sara K

Paula Goldsmith Date: 2/12/2024 10:18:00 AM A lovely write. We have needed rain. Had some this week. Hooray!!! I love to hear the rain/so peaceful. Have a blessed day writing away.......................... Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/12/2024 11:11:00 AM Why, thank you, Paula. I think we probably have had over 6 inches since about 5:30 P.M. yesterday. It is supposed to end about sundown. Thanks for stopping by. Sara K

Victor Buhagiar Date: 2/12/2024 8:49:00 AM Without rain, the landscape will become a desert. Also needed for drinking.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/12/2024 8:35:00 AM Loved the personification in this one Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/12/2024 8:57:00 AM Why thank you, Andrea. I enjoyed writing it after a night of rain. Sara K

Vijay Pandit Date: 2/12/2024 6:21:00 AM I like the positive outlook you convey, Sara. Though it is hard to enjoy when it floods causing destruction--in the long term rain is much needed. And yes--there will be blooms soon and it will be all worthwhile. Login to Reply Sara Kendrick Date: 2/12/2024 7:03:00 AM Thank you, Vijay for dropping by and taking time to read and comment. Your comments are uplifting and encouraging. Sara K
