A DROP OF WELCOME RAIN

SOMETIMES RAIN COMES LIKE THIS

Sometimes rain comes like this
a gentle shower that’s hard to beat
for calling things to order
It calls my heart to order
I listen and am moved
No argument more powerful
it calms me to compliance
more willingly than downpours,
comes unannounced and soothing
The riddle of its falling 
makes mystery easier  
I see what should have been
a stand-out all along
It touches everything and so
I’m touched by everything
An all-embracing murmur
an omnipresence tapping
on my inmost being’s door
it throws a veil of comfort
over the garden and the trees
darkens the sandstone paths
postponing work and weeding
and without a word being said
calls amnesty and rest
Sometimes rain comes like this.

  1. CBD validcbdoil can interact with the human endocannabinoid system for various symptoms. And it provides many of the same advantages as its counterpart THC, but without any negative or mind-altering effects.
