From Heaven's Door...


Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
washes all surfaces clean, renewing
visual purity for the hand that created the
substances we enjoy each and every day

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
blessed rewards to thirsty creations
who long for the nourishment, needed to complete
their circle of life, complete their growth promised

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
violent at times, combined with a light force
and heard by all as the crack of the mighty thunder
startles and makes us shutter with fear of an unknown

Rain, water that flows from Heaven’s door -
gentle at times as it mists the wildflower on the hills, fills
the river to nourish the living creatures within her banks,
baths the valley to bring drink to the wildlife it house

for mankind
