Pray for Rain

the rain is coming
coming to refresh us
this heat and humidity keeps us, cooks us, makes us lean
then rain comes in the thunder and lightning
great winds bring the tumult
our dry land becomes a flood
streets become rivers
the grass turns greener
the birds find food easier
a glorious cardinal on our porch holds a large nightcrawler in his mouth
this mirrors life in the spirit,
this metaphor, this type,
it is easy to understand,
we must pray for rain.
