Embrace the Rain

In the soft putter of the rain,
secrets of the Earth are unveiled
without a hint of disdain.

When skies are gray and
time feels strained,
the rains are embraced
and hope is regained.

I wait here in the fields, a wee lass,
to see how well the rain brings on the grass
longer than a man's life.
I am praying he makes me his wife.

A symphony of love divine
though cloudy skies align
in the rain's embrace, so fine, we leap
two souls in love forever deep.

Embrace the Rain

Hello, Mary,

How lovely!  Not certain why AI could not offer anything - but this seems a bit like a loose ode to rain. Lovely!

I noticed you listed it as free verse - it actually holds some wonderful rhyme!

Thank you!
