Rain’s Magical Leftovers

Droplets as Nature’s microscope

Reveals intricacies unavailable without a downpour’s aftermath.

We seldom think of the rain’s generosity

Whether a downpour

Or drizzle,

Rainfall comes with many costume changes.

How fast it can travel down a window pane

How melodious its dance on puddle stages

Where its mysterious array of lenses mirror

Its audience of shadowed reflections.

And what of the magnifying droplets

Finding purchase atop stems of Nature reaching skyward.?

Might families of dew falling from clear sky

Know of the transformative power of sunset

Upon the mist-like makeup

Changing the many complexions of a forest wildness

Into a calmness of expression paused for Nature’s singularity

Processing an infinite density and microscopic volume

Into a oneness.

Seek out the magical leftovers of your next rainfall.

Allow creation’s generosity to seep into

The reservoirs of your heart and mind,

Where the gathering all kinds of droplets

Make rich the essence of consciousness.
