Rain The rain cleansing the soul initiating new life A transparent glaze making its way down the body The harder it comes the more rapid the cleansing The softer the touch the more the desire To huddle away avoiding the washing only addresses the fear To approach with open arms is to be anointed By its' beauty To respect is to understand To avoid is to lack nourishment 'From the Rain' |

Hi Thomas....I really like this poem and have read it several times. It is soft and gentle just like a Spring rain....but more than that it has great imagery. If I had to pick a favorite line (and I'm glad I don't have to make that choice) it would be...'a transparent glaze making its way down the body'....lovely in every way. We can be anointed by its beauty if we just stop and drink in the wonders....well done...
Marilyn
