I
swear I can feel
the tension building among
thirsty trees and plants anxiously waiting
for life-giving rain to bless their day – at last
I breathe a sigh of relief as healing drops
finally begin to
fall

A welcoming space for resistance to the forces of oppression and hegemony.

Nice. 🙂 Then you smell that unique pungent odor while walking around in the woods.

What an inspirational piece Carol. We all have our own “Rain” , wouldn’t you agree?
I like to one form of “rain” is when I stand parched in a emotional desert void of any compassion, understanding or love. Like a refreshing salve, one small act of kindness, begins the healing process far beyond any superficial wounds, deep into the root that is my very soul., 🙂 peace to you my friend.
