Listen To The Rustling Of The Rain. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Listen To The Rustling Of The Rain.

Rating: 5.0


Listen to the rustling of the rain.
Observe the force of the rain
on the leaves of the trees.

The trees suckle the blessings of heaven.

Observe the influence
of the rain on the birds.

See how the earth absorbs the rain,
how life emerges from dry dust.

Look at the leaves
the fresh young little sprouts
which unfold in joy to life.

Glimpse and glance at the skies
from where the rain comes,
where to does it go.

Follow the raindrops
in their journey.
Think of the origin
and it's destination.

Look at the raindrops
falling on the dry ground,
on the trees and barks
on the roofing tiles.

Observe how the raindrops
are not in the form of drops
as it flows down from heaven
and then loses itself on the earth.

(This was a simple meditation this morning on the rain)

Dear Dr. Tony, you described magnificently the cycles of nature in a slow-motion for our rapid observing eyes. How most beautiful is this indirect advice with worded examples. However, I constantly enjoy your poetic meditative moments about all whatsoever. Your words are oft sheer crystal clear. I oft smell petrichor when first raindrops are falling to the dry earth. God's Blessings be upon thee perpetually, Dr. Tony. Myriads of 10's forVote
