The Color of Rain

by The Herban Goddess


 

I saw the rain fall to the ground,

Touched softly gold by a hidden sun,

Settle on the magenta face of an open rose

Like grateful teardrops.

 

I saw the crimson tinted rain fall

Between the autumn leaves of the fragile aspen,

Caressing the Rocky Mountains

With the Goddess' divine passion.

 

I saw the rain fall crystalline white

On a frozen landscape

Where all life slept peacefully

In suspended animation under a blue gray sky.

 

I saw the rain fall tender green,

Kissing blossoms and slender shoots,

Wrapped in the Goddess' life giving embrace,

And the Earth was clean and bright and new once again.
