Renewal
It began as an eerie mist filling the sky
Moistening the trees and grass as it caressed them
Soundless as it went about its work
Dark clouds providing the canvas for its birth
Soon tiny droplets began to descend
Falling intermittingly through the mist
Until the mist was no more
The gentle sound of rain could now be heard
Small pools of water gathered hither and yon
Birds began to seek shelter in nearby trees
A far off rumble announced what was to come
The tiny droplets intensified in sound
Rain could now be heard on the tin roof above
Small tears of water streaked the glass windows
The falling rain began its chant
Announcing its arrival through its own private symphony
As the sky opened its grey cloak
Rain poured from above in reckless abandon
The hungry earth absorbed the gift without hesitation
Soon the rain subsided and the clouds parted
The sun broke through and bathed all in its brilliant light
With the sunlight and rain blending into its healing brew
The miracle of renewal for this day was now complete
