Rain, oh rain
You bring with you the cycle of life
Your showers both cleansing and cold
Your droplets nourish the earth
And quench the thirst of the land
But your deluges can also cause pain
Your presence both welcome and feared
You bring relief from the scorching heat
But also bring destruction in your wake
Your presence both joy and sorrow
The colors, so vibrant and alive
A promise of peace and hope
After the storm has passed
But the destruction you leave behind
The floods and landslides
Remind us of your power
You are a force of nature
A blessing and a curse
Your beauty transcends
But your destruction can rend
Our hearts in pieces two
You are the enigma of nature
Bringing both life and death in your wake.
