This gentle rain
so quiet to the soul
the soft and steady drum
of letting go
each drop
a thought
each bounce upon the ground
implies resilience
each rivulet
a flow
of sweet release
and sky as silver as the sound
requires nothing
but to breathe the air
as sweet communion
one Robin sings
a single note
and takes the morning in
we praise the rain gods
he and I
and offer them
Amen
