Rain pitter patter
From soft to louder
Welcomed in the fall
Leaves customarily change by now
Trees stand proud & tall
Green as in the heat of summer
Wind picked up
Watching stalwart in their presence
Bending & swaying
To the desire of the breeze
As they flutter through the trees
Rain delivering nutrients
Natures consentience
Listening to the birds twitter
Preparing their migrating nests
Rain for me is cathartic
As a child
I would always look up to the skies
Asking divine Father
What we've done
Can I help the pain of his cries
I recall at times
Father God would open the clouds
Sun would stream through
A rainbow would appear
Like magic
The skies were clear
Love remembering the youthful exuberance
Profound love & trust
Knowing that all is well
In this earth we dwell
For God is Love
~Divine
