After the rain and before the sun
The interlude when the rain is welcome
Only in times of drought and pain
Can such gentle decoration of water and light
Bring calmness like the rain.
After the rain and before the sun
Eyes adjust to softer tones,
The soil is sighing, breathing and giving
Calm now, calm now even in my bones.
After the rain and before the sun
The urgency adjusts to caring,
After the rain and before the sun
We see the detail- not the daring.
