The rain continues its steady rhythm.
A musical pattern arranged by God.
Not concerned where or when it falls
Every drop completes its part
in a cycle of simple obedience
bringing life to earth.
My thoughts abound with little effort.
Where one thought ends another begins.
Like raindrops
descending to a final destination
Ultimately voiced in the garden of self-expression.
Bringing meaning to a blank page.

Friends,
The past month has been a whirlwind of activity for me, as I’ve involved myself in the promotion of my first book. Today I felt like taking time out and getting back to my roots. Returning to poetry helps me get in touch with the joy of creativity. It’s a wonderful feeling to just write.
I hope spring affords you the time to refresh your spirit.
