We marvel at its beauty and brilliance, <br />It is a priceless phenomenon, <br />Which defies the imagery of science? <br />And spread drops in visible spectrum. <br /> <br />The rain must fall with scattered showers, <br />Upon parch ground dull and indifferent, <br />Cloudy atmosphere appear out of thin air, <br />Connecting forecast to our environment. <br /> <br />From a lofty position in the sky, <br />Rain must fall with millions of tiny droplets, <br />In liquid form they come floating by, <br />And envisage sorrows in teardrops. <br /> <br />You will feel the vapor all around you, <br />Of warm air holding water condensing, <br />With torrential downpour towering through, <br />In spring months increasing. <br /> <br />Rain is a relief reunion of earth and land, <br />A reservoir of paradise to farmers, <br />It opens heaven's door and falls like sand, <br />Over all features it covers. <br /> <br />Then turn and vanished again, <br />As a stranger that had not been there, <br />Swung back into the crusading wind, <br />Over somewhere it feels good to appear.<br /><br />Gerry Legister<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rain-must-fall/
