Rain Garden

Standing brown barefoot
In the summer springlike rain
Feeling the coolness slide down my skin
Like a bird bath for my soul
Refreshing me inside and out
Each raindrop anoints 
My every joint with hazel hope
Amber buttery thoughts melt
And I plant my seeds
All those cares will be
Carried away to life
The garden I plant 
In the rain will thrive 
The muddy hill will 
bear my fruit and 
The honeysuckle wind
Will carry my truth
Essence of my being
That I will love

Rain brings rebirth to the barren land and also to the soul...! New sprouts will come and grow. May the living waters drip down through your body and soul and make you a new being. Enjoyed this highly metaphoric poem, dear Karen.

Thank you for this symbolic connection of self with nature. Rain has so much meaning in poetry. It has a cleansing, new input to the spring rainfall.
