Rain's Innocent Guilt

Rain's Innocent Guilt by Odin Roark So simple Creation's reflective miniscule Gathering force at will Sprinkling nourishment Sharing its cleansing Wanting only growth Such is the mission Of Nature's most immaculate The raindrop Carrier of so many purposes Inculpable its essence Being not of calamitous desire Yet collected by forces undesired Often Tropical disturbance Or typhoons Hurricanes So faultless Its guilt While we admonish it presence Water spotting our car washes Spoiling our vacation weekends Plummeting our gardens We ignore its due respect Perhaps... Embracing the small creature-less life Might enable this E. T. of Nature's family Dreaming only of making our lives better A supportive existence among Its dedicated landscape Still We argue its overwhelming presence Even as its ancestors of Arctic and Antarctic Plead for genealogical respect We continue to deny its nemesis Man's natural self destruction Trying to hide behind inept rationale For some So easy to deny For all Impossible to avoid
