A Dawn Rain Allegory…
Falling is the dawn’s rain;
God’s tears—the most gentle—
beautiful expressions of grief and joy.
Let us not fear the dawning rain,
seeking to walk between the drops;
rather let us walk…walk in the bosom of nature…
each raindrop anointing us with the water of love:
healing waters soaking our treeing roots.
The grief of flooding waters
has passed—collateral damage
of the water, sacrifices of purification—
from time immemorial and Noah’s story.
Indeed, if it wasn’t for the rain—God’s tears—
where would we be…?
Come…let us walk in the pitter-patter rhythms
of the falling raindrops.
As we have weathered the storms of rain,
so shall we not wither because of the rain:
Let freedom not only ring; let it also rain down
the blooming of peace, love and purpose.
