Blessing the Rain
Come outside, and let yourself be soaked
Heaven’s tears are pouring down; from the Maldives to Spain
Do you feel your soul warming up with a sense of hope?
This is what you get from the blessing of the rain.
Thin streaks of sunlight manage to peak through
Healing every wound and curing us of pain
An intimate bond forms between me and you
As we worship the blessing of the rain.
The elders always tell us a special story
Of how we’ve earned the blessing of the rain
As we’ve become drenched, we were led to eternal glory
And happiness and love were all that remained.
I look up and await the incoming storm
Excitement fills me, rather than fear
My heart beats fast in anticipation for I know I’ll transform
The blessed rain will cleanse my soul, and everything will become clear.
Hush now, daughter of man
Native of Altera Domi where peace has reigned
Receive this sacred gift and bring honor to your clan
For you have witnessed the blessing of the rain.
Come outside, and let yourself be soaked
Heaven’s tears are pouring down; from the Maldives to Spain
Do you feel your soul warming up with a sense of hope?
This is what you get from the blessing of the rain.
Thin streaks of sunlight manage to peak through
Healing every wound and curing us of pain
An intimate bond forms between me and you

very musical reading...incidentally it's raining here as I write - a cold driving rain...the Pacific Ocean falling on us, hopefully cleansed through evaporation of the radioactive outpourings fromFukushima...even this rain promises a burst of life in the full glory of mushroom season's extravaganza...loved the poem S...

Gosh, that’s the most I’ve seen L ever say in a comment, dear Light..,
He really does love your piece!
And so do I, Luna. I think you know how I am about the rain. In fact, as I read your “blessing”, I felt and heard myself outside, standing in it, seriously.
Aahhh... I feel refreshed.

Thank you very much for your kind words, dear Jade. I'm so glad you've enjoyed my poem; it's even better when you listen to the music.
I hope this "blessing" relieved you of some stress. c:

I suppose they could be song lyrics, but that's not what I had in mind when I wrote this.
Thanks for your comment, Jeff.

Your voice adds a lot to the poem too, Luna, brings it more alive. Nicely done.

Just a quick co,ment on the read, it seems a little rushed, I think you need to step back a little breathe and read it a little slower to let the weight of your words sink in a little more, it's a good piece that reads well, as you get deeper into the piece your nerves settle and you do slow down a bit, but to gphighlight your rhymes and repetitions it need about a half a pace less, think about normal speech and dial a little back from there, unless you're hyper expressive lol.
