*Blessings upon you child of the rain
Who walks so freely beneath the clouds
How your life is filled with a freedom of heart
And a clarity of mind, which is unrivaled by
Even the most ill motivated and questioning eyes
Blessed are you
Because you understand the collective side
And the joy which can be found inside
When all around you is pouring down
And falling out
When so many others are hurrying up and scurrying about
Just to curse the sound
Of the falling rain
It is you alone who are not afraid
Of stepping out, and soaking yourself
Be it skin and bone, one and the same
How you welcome the storm without concern
And dance and sing without reserve
Amidst the downpour of the rain
Like a child who was never taught
Or even told to try and abstain
From such innocent things
For you are alive and always well
Within this, the present moment
Most endlessly and without restraint
How you throw your arms around the sky
Most lovingly each time it cries
To comfort it
To hug the storm without remorse
And to appreciate the summer’s day
For what it is, devoid of heat
Oh childlike, child of the rain
It’s because of you and your carefree ways
That I wish the storm could ever stay
And perhaps one day
That we two could play
Right here alongside, within the rain*
