The Rains from the Heavens

The rains from the heavens, do not discriminate

They cleanse and sanctify all the same

and offer a pause to both ruminate and celebrate

*

Whether they pelt down hard or oh so delicate

Can envigorate you or leave you tame

The rains from the heavens, do not disciminate

*

All the lush greens needs the rain to irrigate

After a dry spell, they deserveo acclaim

and offer a pause to both ruminate and celebrate

*

When storms do rage, the rainfall can obliterate

The unknowns and those of fame

The rains from the heavens, do not discriminate

*

Gaze skywards to the clouds where they originate

As the land, the sky's waters they reclaim

and offer a pause to both ruminate and celebrate

*

It feels just, right and proper to recapitulate

How percipitation above calls me to proclaim

The rains from the heavens, do not discriminate

and offer a pause to both ruminate and celebrate

*

Thanks for reading!
