We’re thirsty

Thirsty for
love
care
and rain

As the rain falls
the trees cry out

Thank you, they say

We’re thirsty
Our ground is dry
Our souls are depleted
Our hearts are weary
We are yearning
for sustenance

We are in need of care
Care only the universe
can provide

We tower over
We give shade
We are a refuge

We’re a home
for the birds
and the tiny creatures
of this world

The rain is falling
the birds are singing

It’s a chorus of joy
in the universe
as prayers
have been answered

Drink it
Soak it in
The grass has died
The trees wilt

Food sources
are dying off

The little animals
struggle for food

The heat kills the worms
the baby birds need food

Thank you, divine spirit
for this rain
for the
food for our souls
and for the
gift of life

Thank you for pouring
your heavenly nectar
on our soil
so we can
begin to heal

Rainwater
hydration
healing

Liquid light
falling from
the sky

The birds
fly into the trees
they’re coming home

The little ones need our help
We’re meant to shelter them
care for them
give them a place to grow

The tiniest of creatures rely on us
we can’t let them down

Rain down on us
let us help
our little ones

Divine Spirit
we are here
waiting

We have a purpose
Let us fulfill our promise
to the land
and the little souls that need us

And now the rain
pours down on us
again

Thank you
for hearing our cries

We are grateful

Keep it coming
too many have died already
they need us
the humans
need us
and we need you
