Collecting Rain
The sun is out
with rain about.
Get a glass of blue.
Catch the rain
to heal your pain
and for bathing too.
Blessed be,
the fairies see
I hold a silver spoon*.
They help me find
when I am blind
things I thought were doomed.
At midnight
by no moonlight,
gather rain for me.
Tomorrow brings
different things
only I can see.
Tombstone rain
may be stained
during any shower.
But rain's first day
in Spring's month, May,
will surely have great power.
Here comes a storm.
I will warn
collect its energy.
Before three nights
use it right
or water it will be.
Do not hide.
Stand outside.
Water spirits talk.
Gifts of love
fall from above.
Come with me and walk.
Inspired by the Witches' Almanac, Spring 2002 to Spring 2003, pg 30, "When witches gather rain".
* In order to receive the blessings of fairies when gathering rain with a silver spoon, the rain must also bounce off a flat stone and then be placed on a frequently misplaced object.
