...this day's story...

night rains and so flowing waters be
upon gardens, fields and to the sea
earth and roots to the dawning light behold
heaven's sweet libation be this day's story told.

rain... Waters and Fields

the night to reveal
what blessings hold ever real
waters and fields lush and green
here and in distances dark yet seen
nature's palette in abundance greet
where streams, rivers, sea and ocean meet
the welcomed rains and heard is nature's sigh
hallowed libation from heaven's sky
the night to reveal
what blessings hold ever real.
