"HARD RAIN"
At the very heart of things, it rains
My Lord, please clear my misted sight
That I may hence view thy divinity
I am but a nimble spirit, bravely minded
And keenly aware of the earthen depths
As she so obviously soaks up, the rain
And training men's thoughts, elsewhere
If I have freedom in my love of metaphysics
And if in my soul I am free
In my celestial meanderings
Will not the rain cease
And the sunlight of thy glory
Shine upon my face
As I stand here, ashamed, and most tired
Of this human ~ race
It taunts me, as if to say
I am ignorant
Of your glorious
Insight
Into the seasons
And the rain it brings
Diminishing me
Daily
I am ready my Lord
I beg thee
Wash me clean
That I may linger
If only for a moment
In the garden
With the elegant sunlight
Of thy glory
Upon my face...
Tony Taylor

The rain, being that it is cold and wet, can make one feel morose, but the rain can also give us a feeling of empowerment. This piece is truly beautiful Tony. I have read it several times now and it gets better and better
