Spring Rain
Virginia Salter

as night commenced
drip, drip, drop, drop
pitter, patter
plop, plop
drip, drip, drip, drip, drip
pitter, pitter, pitter, pat
rain falling on outside cat,
gently, yet more swiftly now
lovely drink does fall
. . . morning comes
delightful sky, ringed in deep gray blue,
slowly brightens over God-watered land
so sated is each inch of soil
refreshed and clean each plant
enlivened with sweet moisture
to face the day, soon drinking in the sun
with renewed vigor
would that we, each one of us,
be so revived to the hours ahead
from our God-watering of rest

Nothing like a spring rain for resfrshment. Although I doubt the cat thought so. Joyce

What a great thought, that we could absorb His teachings like the earth does rain! I really liked the poem.

Yes, the strong winds with spring rain signals God's cleansing care of all the trees and plants to me, too. I like your comparison that we should be so refreshed too. Thank you.

What a beautiful soul refreshing poem!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Yes. A gentle rain, and afterwards, the bright sunshine, indeed refreshes the soul. Thanks for sharing this peacefull moment.

VAS,

This delightful poem of yours inspired many different emotions.... a couple of them where that it soothed me to think of the refreshing rain and it humored me to think of the poor cat probably anoid by the same. Nice poem. Bob <><
