Rain

I wonder if the rain loves the earth so much
that she kisses everything she touches,
the mountains, the trees, and the fields,
she even cleans dirty feathers of birdsā wings
and the hands of a girl where dust clings.
From time to time she rages
--like a wolf inside a cageā
and fills the rivers, brooks and streams,
then she floods into houses
stealing pictures and love letters
pushing them in the streets
leaving behind dreams and hopes undone,
but never forgets to paint the sky in rainbows
when she meets the lovely sun.
--Bernadete vdw, ā25
