I love the rain
not because of the smell
or because it makes the flowers grow
but because
when I stand beneath it
I can breathe
I am made anew
It washes away my transgressions
and it washes away the impurities the earth
has been keeping
I feel light
the earth is light
and I can see now
the grey is gone
and it is brighter now
the earth is made brighter now
the sun pushes the clouds and it is bright
there is color
my earth is made of color
the churning grey of the sea
is now a magnificent clear blue
the sky is a pure blue brightened by the sun
and I can hear it now
the birds are singing louder
and I am rejoicing louder
because the rain has made the earth whole
the rain hasd made me whole
and because it so willingly does this
I will forever be made whole
and I will hear the magnificent sounds
and my earth will no longer be grey
and I will shine
and I will feel light
and I will forever be made anew
so long as I stand beneath that rain
and let it take away my pains
I love the rain
not because of the smell
or because it makes the flowers grow
but because it freely pours
and because with it
I am made whole
