...and so the rains yet come... Libation's Grace

...and so the rains yet come...

Libation's Grace 

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.

Bloom and Splendor

favors of Spring this day be known
the blessings of rain be they shown
at my door in beckoning glee
leaf and bloom upon each tree
and from the sky so high above
the sweet rain of nature's love
upon grass, leaf, branch and bough
droplets holding to Spring's sacred vow
lush and green blessings brought to me
bloom and splendor of the Dogwood tree.

With The Night Rain

Each fallen leaf laden with the night rain
Their wind swept flight put to tame
A brimming blanket of leaves upon the ground
Quiet they lay, gone their rustling sound
Held still by the towering mighty oak tree
Red brown leaves on branch and bough high above me
Gentle Fall winds entreat each quivering leaf to fly
Alight their color array to sweep the now gray sky.

...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.
