Lovers Rain Poem by James Casey

Lovers Rain

Clouds are moving in skies of grey showing their disdain
Dusky clouds are teeming with their nourishing rain
Steadily drops fall, down to earth erasing all the stains
Watch in awe as nature nourishes all our needed grains

The warm earth reacts to the cold rain cloud
Tree's in the distance give sites of an evil crowd
They fade into the landscape, even more proud
Gentile in nature swaying under this shroud

Resisting darkened skies and forceful winds
They stand tall and strong as lightness dims
They too are forever reaching for that special gift
Knowing this will give then all a needed face lift

Touching and waiting for the warmth of a Sunny day
The wind roughly creating their arms to violently sway
Their anchors holding firm to the soil of mother earth
Still knowing this will bring all things a gentle rebirth

Rain makes a special sound upon our metal roof
It draws you in, leaves you defenseless to stay aloof
Waking me gently from my dreams like a lovers kiss
Listening quietly I surrender to the sounds of softness

Hearing the nectar of Gods gift my eyes open wide
I thank silently then slide closer to my lovers side
Sleepy eyes flutter like the patters of this now gentle rain
A soft whisper, a soulful kiss, we snuggle together again

These days have always been like no others
Days like these were always made for lovers
