STOP  THE  RAIN 

Sometimes - just to pause and 

feel the rain - just to see the rain - 

just to smell the scent of summer 

rain  - instead of complaining 

about so much rain this year. 

And I spot what I wasn’t seeing: 

wood, drops, circles, cracks, 

spaces, the dark, the light, 

the soft on hard  - rain on wood, 

what was the weather like on 

the cross that day, Lord Jesus?
