Rain (The Nourisher)

 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
