Rain
I see the rain
As drip tumbles over drop
Unsure if where it will truly fall
But as fate decrees it
It falls where it may
I see the rain
As it fills the mother’s womb
Flowing through her arteries and veins
Giving her life
Rejoicing in its brilliance
Redeeming its power
I see the rain
In the muddy flowing river
Great rivulets of energy
Torrents of strength
I see the rain
In all its glory
As it reaches to the sea
To touch the soul of creation
The giver of life
I see the rain
As waves crash upon the ocean
Molding, shaping the mother
Cycling and re-cycling
And I stand in awe
I see the rain
Feel it on my skin
Taste it in my mouth
Sense it in my bones
Hear its gentle call
And welcome it

This poem was inspired by a
Geology class at
College
of the Redwoods.
The instructor, Dave
Bazzard, is one of the best instructors I have ever
had.
I used this poem in my final reseach project in the class.
You can read my Research Report
Here.
I also read this poem at L&C's
Handfasting to call the Western Quarter.
The following was added to the end to evoke the spirits of the West:
To the West
Powers of Water
Be Here Now!
This Handfasting Sparked another
Poem called:
"The Handfasting"
