Let the rain kiss you.
Let the rain beat upon your head
with silver liquid drops.
Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
~Langston Hughes

Let’s see which big bang or random
atom was it that created the rain???
And where are any scientists who can
relieve droughts by giving us
substantial and prolonged rainy days???
Or is it that the sun up above in the heavens heats up
the ground below to start a blessed, holy water cycle.

Then when the soil under
heaven’s canopy is heated up,
the water on the ground evaporates
and turns into a gas.

Next the vapor from the gas rises
and enters any available clouds where it
condenses and becomes liquid again.

Finally, these new droplets that form
inside the clouds tumble down, down,
downward thus delivering rain upon the earth.

So it is then that the sacred water cycle, woven
by God Almighty into the very fabric of Creation,
goes round and round until somewhere
it miraculously begins all over again.

…then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains… ~Excerpt from Deuteronomy 11:17 ✝
