Michael Shepherd Rain Poems

Today the soft rain is
not falling, rather blessing,
as gentle as mercy,
making the air
...

It’s May and it’s raining
and I’m standing at the front door
as if I were the first rain itself
on Eden, blessing and blessed
...

on the window screen

night whispers secret witness -
...

The rain blurs and beats at the window
like mercy frustrated;

it has fulfilled its magic promise,
...
