we heard the song of the rain
all night it lulled us to sleep
a calming peaceful presence
knowing God was bringing freshness
to a dry land
while we
rested
Bethany called ahead of me
in the early hours
and into the rain we went
goats to milk
horses to put on pasture
paddocks to clean
overnight God sprouted my garden seeds
the little shoots singing a happy song
with the morning
Bethany and I had a song in our heart
then dripping wet
came home
a nice hearth fire to warm us
a hot milk to remove the chill
mocha cheesecake
and a book
together
then out again
on the horse trail
a new one cut fresh
these past days
the horses glad for the adventure
the dogs
our
faithful
companions
more rain
those sweet showers of blessings
then sun
glorious sun
the heavens jeweled in sparkling clouds
the earth radiantly vibrant
after the rain
an epiphany of new life
new colours
new beginnings
is this the feeling
one has as they enter heaven
the soul raptured
the senses awakened...
To see as one has never seen
to find a melody in the air that gives flight
like the eagles'
where 'breath' is of another world
and you know 'His' presence
though He is there all along
I feel dim witted at times
and it takes the beauty 'after the rain'
to refresh
my memory
to rekindle the flame within me
and remind me
I walk where angels walk
and Jesus is the One
He sets my heart to dancing
after the rains
my favourite things
