An Ode to Rain

Tears 

of our azul sky. 

a reminder of existence 

under

its infinite expanse.

Wind, a gentle courtier, 

carries you, 

guiding a dance of descent.

You slip under the embrace of leaves, 

into the cracks of soil. 

Mingle and merge, 

you flow into rushing tides, 

a nourisher of 

grand oaks, 

and dainty daffodils alike. 

Endlessly, 

you wash the Earth clean in a 

circle of life, a tireless guardian of the land.
