Rain

Rain, rain, rain,
Rain, such a small word
So meaningful,
So symbolic 
Each letter a drop 
Watering every fold, 
Every line of the page
Breaking the drought,
Like the rain spreading on the forest floor
Keep at it, keep at it, keep at it,
It sings as it falls downs 
Falling, falling, falling
Hitting the canopy with such a fervour 
Flowing down the leaves
Splashing, from branch to branch 
Coursing down the sculptured barks
With a satisfying swish
Before gurgling happily 
Filling ditches in its reach
