Downpour

Splash!
Clash!
On and on
Splish!
Splash!
Pouring away
Splashing,
Clashing all the day
But what is this?
The sun! Arisen!
And streaked across the sky
A rainbow long and glorious
Floating way up high.

God’s Guitar

By the pond
by the pond
God’s sweet guitar strums.
Its deep honey-sweet voice
singing deep honey-sweet hums.
For the frogs deep, clear voice
calling near, calling far,
sounds just like the humming of God’s sweet guitar.

The Water’s Song

As I sit upon this wooden bridge, I see clear, bright water running over my icy toes. The smell of after-rain is lingering in the air from last night’s thunder shower. My toes are slipping over the cold rocks worn smooth from erosion. But of all the sights, smells and senses, it is what I hear that moves me. It is the quick, yet everlasting trickle of the water’s song that soothes me. It is the bubble bubble blip of the water’s voice that lulls me. It is the water’s singing that carries me away.
