The first Morning of April 2016 has started here in Ireland with our usual spring rains

So time for a small poem to welcome it home once again ……

April rain

On your morning walk
let the rain kiss you on your face
let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops,

Let the rain sing you a new song
just like the returning birds of springtime,

On this morning walk along the rivers bank
the rain makes waves upon the rivers flow
the rain dances on its surface,

If there are any Gods then they are in the rain
this rain that brings new life
a fresh start
this April rain.
