2012 Evolution – Day 14

If u give me a year, I will write a poem a day about rain

How this sky water has nurtured this Earth daughter

A willing captive under layers of clothing, in boots, around fires

Under umbrellas, she can only think of songs in response to these showers

Internal waves of gratitude that she is privileged

To have a range of options for shelter, so getting wet

is a chosen delight not an insult to her skin, a dampening of spirit.

Naming her firstborn son after this source, she knows

how so much grows when like water, like tears, you surrender to the flow.
