The Rain

The rain brings life that covers the earth.
The rain drops are swallowed by the soils thirst.
It falls from the heavens and gives it birth.
Life is then risen from its touch.
Bring forth from the grave,with soiled wrap of cloth.
What once was dead,  waiting in its cocoon state
Until the rain falls again, its life is short.
