A good, steady rain.

Water fills the

pocks of the driveway,

polishing rocks.

*

A good, humble rain

Bearing white noise

Around the back stoop.

I sit out to soak in a psalm.

*

A good, comfort rain.

“When the cares of my

Heart are many, Your

Consolations cheer my soul.”

*

A good, refreshing rain

Ushers in sabbath songs,

The quiet pitter and patter

Like a brush on a snare drum.

*

A good, good, rain

Sings its own tune,

spilt from above

To calm calm us.

*

Psalm 94:19
