With The Fourteen-Day-Rain (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

While the fourteen-day-rain outside do day and night whisper
the aroma of the wet earth and new life is everywhere,
while almost endlessly the rain keeps falling
the two of us at night lie cosily together in the cold darkness,
it's as if a person can listen to how the world is going
while thunder like the voice of God fall around us,
while the two of us are together as a pair in the universe
and in sin and pain this world is shackled
but together we do find the God of love,
notice His handiwork wherever we come,
do together experience what sincere love really is
and outside a cold icy wind blows,
with each with other and the mercy of God we are speechless
while He remains with us in the greatest darkness.
