The rain poured from the gray leaden sky
All day yesterday.
Quenching the thirst of all living things here.
This morning,
I sit in a fresh clean world
sunlight saturating everything,
including me,
As the moisture rises
through golden shafts of sunlight
back to the sky from whence it came.
To become a cloud again,
And carry the moisture to another place
In another time.
Transforming itself,
over and over again.
An ancient and timeless cycle.
What brilliant planning of the Universe.
