The clouds dispersed and brightened
And Luke looked The Frightened
His long bright look had darkened,
A week’s prayer not hearkened:
Not that of fervent farmer
A long parched Earth is Hammer
There’s a union he’d cancelled
And sought it by The Rains sealed;
An arranged Heavy Rainfall
That should drown Reception Hall:
Bride soak down to her undies,
Bride groom asking “What’s just this?”
Twelve thousand to Rain Maker
And before now Not A Shake:
Getting back his money sure,
Yet, in spirit remain poor…
Tried Luke to mar a marriage;
Over it run Hell’s Carriage!

"Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, you haven't done a thing. You are just talking."
Wangari Maathai
A seed
A soil
A drop of water
A watchful eye
A rainful prayer
Pruning
Protecting
Watching it from below
Climbing it and looking from above
Sitting and meeting
Embracing the little creatures
The friends of the tree
"All of us have a God in us, and that God is the spirit that unites all life, everything that is on this planet."
Wangari Maathai
A body full of life
A flame sustaining many

This rainful haze but coldly dance
atop that meekly warmth of eve
a fancy frozen of a hum
of feast and drink, we drown and live
and half about our highly walls
the windows keep the tease of dew –
our roads run up some busied halls
of damning damp, of dulling old
and nightly drumming men of rain
a crowd we are of wont by sleep
our prance in wet a holy sight
your calm, a godly icing breathe
but we both know the sins of gray
that dance we hear is opt to fade
I am no moon, nor sun, nor day
for ours is but, romance of rain.
