This I Know

Aaah the rain

So soothing on my brain

As it falls

My life calls

I rest in the moment

I answer the hint

Piecing together all the clues

The magic and the mystery

The here and the history

Cool air in through the window

A distant bird sings

I wonder

How wide are its wings

Where will it fly?

Where will I fly?

Will I discover my wingspan?

Will I look back in awe 

At all the dreams after which I ran?

And here in this now

As the rain takes its bow

The curtain closes

I rise up and cheer

Oh dear, oh dear

This is your year

This is your day

This is your now sweet now

Summer rain falls

Soul flowers grow

This I know
