Rain  Song -C



The moist  light touch of the rain
dancing through grass and trees
outside your opened window
with many faery paintbrushes
painting, all at once...such a symphony
or so it seems to one with ear attuned,
Aye, it is a  comfort
the sound of rain
enclosing you,
and should you venture out to receive its blessings,
your little dog will romp between raindrops
almost cartwheeling with the cat
The wet will seep into the seeds of earth-
all of this in its own time-
and all the world about
crawling under the sure safety of bed covers
will pass off to sleep
while you-awakened- listen 
to the sweet deep peace that now surrounds-
to those sprinting little slippered feet...
