Thousand petaled rain
Beat down
Urge on the Spring
Awake the bulbs and roots of things
Green the grass
Anoint the soil
Baptize the earth
Sweet rain
The agent of rebirth
Winter’s sleep is over now
The sun is climbing high
The creeks and streams
Sing clear again
Reflecting clouds and sky
Sweet rain, recall the robins song
And make the stones to shine
Cleanse away the winter’s doubts
And give us hope again
