World Anew!

I hear it…
Slowly at first,
just a gentle sprinkling of crystal gems,
falling with slow carelessness and abandon.
I listen as the beat resonates, rhythmically.
The watery  shards now quicker,sharper,
noisier.
But all I feel is joy.
I open the doors and feel the rush of wind
blowing the rain across my legs
I  laugh..
My freshly washed hair, so solemnly combed just hours ago,
now flattened, dripping and glorious!
I breathe in the smell of the damp, dusty earth and
My soul smiles as broadly as my mouth.
Wiping a raindrop from my brow, I look skywards
beyond the pessimistic  clouds ,
through the tears of liquid love,
knowing  the hidden sunshine  is there
Thanking my  invisible,yet merciful Saviour
for the words of joy
just given me.
Words that make me look at the world  anew
through a burnished window.
Where there is no distortion, no raging at life's fragility,
only clarity, and know, once again,
the promise awaited, hoped and prayed for…
The promise of a  future…..
A rainbow  tomorrow.
