Hard Rain

The rain just makes this land
seem so much flatter
The sky bends down
and touches hand to soil

The mud and thunder
never make me sadder
I know old Sol
Will soon return to toil

Meanwhile, You're the one
that makes me gladder
My sky, my clouds, my sun
my garden earth

Ahhh, rain... a wonderful tribute to the much needed downpour in Texas... I especially like that vast sky bending down to touch hand to soil - great poem! :) x
