Impressions/Rain

The Rain

Outside I watch the rain . It falls,
in pitter-patter drops .They splash
and wet the ground , and wet the walls .
Outside I watch the rain , it falls .
A dream , a hope , their sweet recalls
of past events, my third eyes flash .
Outside I watch the rain . It falls
in pitter-patter drops .They splash !
*
The lightnings flash, the thunders roll !
Oh ! what a splash ! Oh! what a pour!
They make a din, they make a toll .
The lightnings flash, the thunders roll .
We cannot go out for a stroll .
We stay inside and close our door .
The lightnings flash, the thunders roll
Oh ! what a splash ! Oh! what a pour!
*

The birds fly home, the flowers drop
and fauna , flora , drink away !
The sky is grey , and green the crops ;
The birds fly home, the flowers drop .
We hope the rain will wane and stop
and sun comes out , to rule the day .
The birds fly home, the flowers drop ,
and fauna, flora drink away !

Fleeting Impressions

Today , I am reaching out and try to touch

Something that is quite unknown;

I cannot grasp or fathom it !

Is it a memory or fleeting impression

I am trying to trace , to jot down ?

For like the wind it has gone

From my brain ; from my memory!

So I just say ," God , whatever I want to say

Is not important any more .

I 'll not try to say it so beautifully

I'll try not to say it according to some rhymes.

I simply say , I thank you , God

For everything, the big or small ,

The important or not important things in my life

They all come from you and

I shall always treasure them.

I thank you also for any special inspirations

That come my way from you.

I know that without your help

I'll be nothing!

Please don't pass me by

For I like to feel your presence near!

Remembering your grace, I say

I'll forgive those that do me wrong

I'll not try to figure out what motives they have

How they belittle me ; themselves look good!

Know that like me, they too are weak humans

Whom Our Saviour try to redeem .

I'll only remember the good they have done .

I'll let myself diminish

So that my grace will daily grow.

This is my prayer to you , God . "
