~Rainbow~

There is a change in the air
An earthy smell so very rare
Breeze blows cooler on my face
Tall grass rustles with such grace

I know what’s coming before I hear
The distant thunder growing near
Rumbling gently from the clouds
Its warning call it deeply hounds

Small pricks upon my skin
Tell me the drops have come again
Rain is falling slowly here
Dotting dry ground with a tear

Soon it’s pouring down I see
Parched soil soaking up with glee
The raindrops dropping all around
Giving new life to the ground

Wilted flowers raise their heads
Grasses all moist in their beds
The rain has brought with its fall
A fresher breath to us all

And as I peer into the sky
Clouds are now looking to be dry
There are colors bright and grand
Across the sky in sparkling band

***
When I think my life is parched
Struggles before me solemnly marched
And then when I feel wilted and dry
Wanting to just simply give up and cry

Out of the stillness comes the breeze
Refreshing my heart with simplest ease
Quenching the thirst with drops of love
Rest comes from my Savior above

As my troubles disappear
I realize that He is very near
And never again will I fear a drought
For His rain will come to let me out

And as I peer into the sky
My hopes in Him are very high
Up across the heavens I see
A rainbow, a promise to me
