RAIN ON METAL

Rain on metal - like on the top of an
air conditioner - I like that sound - the
ping - ping - ping - of rain - letting me
know throughout the night that the soft
fall of rain is sinking silently into the soil,
into the earth - into my soul. And the alleys and the cars will be washed 
and life will go on and on and on - 
green, green, on and on - and on - 
even though it's the end of September 
and grass will soon brown and leaves 
will become rust orange, red and brown and fall to the ground - so too me - so
too slow crumble - so too winter - so too the slow knowing about resurrection and
Christ and hope and the Eternal Spring.
