Soothing Rain
Down below, the parched earth, Groaning with the burden of unspelt grief, And up above, the sky, sodden with tears, Feeling the woes of mother earth, Comes down to soothe the aching bosom, From a whisper to a cascade, She drenches every leaf and blade, The chastened earth regains the innocence of a babe, Hearkens to the revelry of nature, Sweeping from every hill and plain, Echoing virgin earth's longing for recurrent motherhood.
