Listen to the Falling Rain

Listen to the missing rain,

Listen to the earth.

Thirsting and drying,

Cracking and wasting,

Listening for the rain.

Listen to the gentle rain,

Listen to it fall.

Sprinkling and splashing,

Trickling and gurgling,

Listen to the falling rain.

Listen to the pouring rain,

Listen to it fall.

Teeming and beating,

Streaming and swirling,

Listen to the falling rain.

Listen to the bursting rain,

Listen to it fall.

Twisting and shaking,

Crashing and wailing,

Listen to the falling rain.

Listen to the shrieking rain,

Listen to it fall.

Thrashing and clashing,

Spiralling and exploding,

Listen to the falling rain.

Listen to the fading rain,

Listen to it fall.

Retreating and easing,

Slowing and disappearing,

Listen to the falling rain.

Listen to our living earth,

Listening to the rain.

Soaking and replenishing,

Flooding and eroding,

Listen to the falling rain.
