Poetry

It’s Raining

Ordinary rain

 

Again

Water falls from the heavens to a thirsty earth

So her trees will drink and spread their arms to shelter me

 her seas  will teem with fish to feed me

 And her people will discover resilience and tenacity

Against the the pitter patter of petty problems

Rain calls

poets to pour out psalms and canticles

And artists to play in color, line and form

As musicians produce harmonies and rhythms

Because, Johnnie knows…

They can do nothing else.

It’s raining.
