Let the rain

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

~ Langston Hughes

 

Let the rain collect in the rain barrel.

Let the rain water the just-planted peas and arugula, the chives, the strawberries.

Let the rain soak the yard.

Let the rain dream the beauty of all spaces.

Let the rain bring the animals to safety and rest.

Let the rain kiss the flowers, and the peach branches.

Let the rain.
