Any Drop of Rain

It's trying to rain

on our world,

always takes me by surprise


Reaching up,

earth appears

closer now,

than sky.


Been falling, falling,

falling now,

takes me by surprise,

crying out my name - arriving.


Any drop of rain like this,

settled to the dust,

has breathed me,

smiled me,

unafraid to touch.


Any drop of rain like this,

wetting down the highway

has looked for me,

spoke with me,

loved, said goodbye.


Words for what remains

draw out present time,

as if all would disappear,

unable to express

all this trying to rain.
