Vesper

The drops, drip, drip, drip,

like a tapping on a shoulder.

It’s a soft invitation to

turn from all distraction.

Late autumn rain before

sunrise is a liquid prayer.  

Such a vesper of the

new mercies which roll

off the roof.

    There is nothing that can match the full sensory experience of rain; the distinct change in smell, the feel of the change in humidity, the dramatic change in the soundscape, all of it projecting a sense of abundance. A multi-dimensional blessing from from the heavens, changing everything on the ground.
