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
