Amazing Rain

Amazing rain how sweet the sound,
That spreads the green we see,
Our hills were dry just dust our ground,
Bright days our enemy.
 
T’was far north did the storm track steer,
And drought, our fields left dry,
How precious then did rain appear,
Tears fell from many eye.
 
The plants turned instantly to green,
Rivers ran in a rush,
Wild creatures stirred in nature’s scene,
Yet, rain brings a quiet hush.
 
Amazing rain, how sweet the sound,
That spreads the green we see,
We cherish rain, that’s not profound,
Life needs water to be.

Visible Light - none and all,
Artists' tints - all and none,
Musical scores - notes and paper,
Human skin – cover of life,
 
Political power – tries to part,
Peace to power – pay no mind,
One on one – a good start,
King’s vision – color blind.

Hard Night Storm

Pacific storm charged the night.
Power outage chills.
Power back, clocks set right.
Power of nature thrills.
 
Candlelight,
Dusky sight,
Sipping wine,
Winds whine,
Driving rain,
Beats window, pain.
The present fades,
Into softer shades.
Morning came,
All's the same.
