June Morning After Rain...


 He provides rain for the earth; 
he sends water on the countryside.
Job 5:10





Earth, parched by heat guzzles the healing rain
Hope gleams with grace; it dazzles like a chain
Of diamonds on the outstretched arms of trees
It pearls in petal-shells of peonies

Hills roll like green waves rushing from our doors
Horizons blur on turquoise-misted shores
Breeze billows, willow-wisps whisper and sigh
And toss a hymn of gladness to the sky

And we, often bereft of eloquence
Revel in renewed wonder’s reverence
As like a bud a brand new day unfolds
And flowers on a stem God’s mercy holds
