RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Rain
The very substance of life
The giver and the nourisher
Creator of life’s abundance
The lightning and the thunder
We breathe you in and flourish
You clean our precious air
You wash away our worries
In waves of awe-filled wonder
Our ancestors worshipped you
And prayed for your return
They sacrificed their loved ones
With reverence they burned
We only pray for rain now
When you are gone too long
We plead forgiveness for our sins
And sing our rain dance songs
