The Soft Rain Today....

how i love
the rain today

ain't heavy
soft and gentle

falling on the grass
and on the side of the hill

this hair of nature
babe's soft whisper

hushing and dashing
like the sound of a young river

how i love the first rain
of the year today

comforting, indifferent
a sound of its own

whispering tears
allying fears.
