Spring Rain

Icy fingers washed from my sight
In the warm spring rain softly falling.
It soaks the cool dark earth below
From which life renewed, once more, is calling.

Rising through brown meadow grass
Unfolding from the cane and limb,
Emerging from the ground, behold
All growing forms of green begin.

Distant drumming from above
The rain now but a memory,
Bright rays break through retreating clouds
Giving hope for what I�ve yet to see!
