Art by Nanami Rio


Rain as metaphor 
Again and again
As science 
When arid conditions set in 
Cyclical, seasonal, a reprieve
Rain as meteorology 
The amounts we'll receive
Rain as memory
Each drop that plops
A soul is fed, 
A moment stops
Rain as mischief-maker
Rain as home-taker
The dark sky, 
The fresh scent
From heaven, 
Earth bent
Rain as history
before the rebirth
Rain in abundance
From our dance in the dearth

Heard this today...

Where I come from, rain is good
'Cause rain makes corn
And corn makes whiskey
Whiskey makes her/him a little frisky

Hah! Can't claim the words as my own...
