Miracle Of Rain

The rain poured between the morning clouds
An image I thought to die
The sky stratified from grey to blue
And dew slept on the leaves so high
Drops gathered on the window sill
And huddled into one
Oh why it falls, I do not know
But a fresh sight before the sun
Once in a blue moon on the desert dry
It slips between the trees
Animals come from all around
Just to lick it clean
And as the sun sets before my eyes
And last drops begin to fall
I remember its soft kisses
A gift from God above
