Consider the Rain

                             "Consider the Rain"



An enormous windblown event whittles away life
Impacting all in its path.
Dust, dirt, and drought discourages growth.

Imagine the infinite possibilities,
Stir the sedate, somber spirit; seek
And respect Nature's talents to revive and renew.

See and stand strong; believe
Benevolence in all its beauty,
As blight and blisters transition into a blissful song.

Compose the approaching moments to be your own,
Animate the serious soul as it searches,
And secure the sacred designed scheme you have set.

Anticipate and ascertain the aesthetic,
Create in the mind's eye; water slapping cattails
In a marsh teeming with wetland's opportunities.

Wink with glee as the moon waxes behind dark clouds,
Admire the soothing symphony of croaking frogs,
And with tears of relief, consider the healing rain.
