Freefall

merciful raindrops
meadows scorched by summer heat
. embrace their Saviour

. grasses stretch their necks
to shower in freefall rain
. left drenched and refreshed

he multiplied the bread to feed the hungry...this god multiplied the raindrops to feed the land---
the land that was there long before we were...
this scenario can be allegorical as well...we all need that baptism of water to refresh us...to make us live again...when life gets too overwhelming.

Thank you Dee. You don't realise just how much you love it until it goes awol. Pleased that we have seen more of it in the last week or so after a very dry spell.

Angels with watercans, these,
Watering their children, if you please.

I love this brief but beautiful poem Chris. Wonderful imagery- “grasses stretch their necks to shower in freefall rain”. Spiritual, lovely and refreshing.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you so much Annette. That rainfall was really welcome. Adore your dog, he/she looks gorgeous.

Sorry for the awful layout. Put this on my small screen phone as I'm on holiday, and this is the way it turned out!
