Creation's Intermittent Rain - poem

Creation’s Intermittent Rain

Soft rain to make the apples plump with pride
          Bright sun to make the apples blush with red
Soft rain to batter at the sunflowers’ stride

Soft rain to fill the honeybees’ round pools
          Bright sun to call the honeybees to work
Soft rain to make all flowers into jewels
          Bright sun again – is this a solar quirk?

Soft rain to baptize God’s beloved earth
          Bright sun to display its glory and worth




(Anna-apples, modified for hot climates, ripen their sweet little apples in June)


(The transfer is erratic; there should be no underlining, blue coloring, or other errata.)
