"Fades rainbow"
To make a rainbow, you've got to let the sunlight shine through you.

...
Rain pounds the soil
And moves the Earth

The tempo of its spatters
Calls to Young seeds
Causes them to sprout
and dance to life

Rain incites the flowers,
Orchestrates their Bloom
Polishes their vivid hues
and awakens their fragrance

Rain deepens the riverbed
gives home to fish
And shapes the earth
As it moves sensually along

Rain protects with a caress,
cools the sun baked flesh
Hides timid tears
And gives drink to he who thirsts

Rain rejuvenates
And revitalizes
Nurtures flora and fauna

Rain lies in wait
Looking over the Earth
from a lofty cloud

Rain blesses all
With the Waters of life
Kissing all of creation
With Love by the drop

Rain is sacred
rain is holy
And rainmakers
have their rituals
To call her back
when she is away

Without her
Death pervades

... I will take your rain
And house it in a cloud
Above my head
And look dreamily
At it's silver lining

And as the sun slips through
We can celebrate your rainbow
And let all praise
the cascade of prismic jewels
You made from a ray of light
