May the rain flow
Onward onward
Into the river of life.
Onward, onward
To a place of no strife
Peaceful beauty
Take me in
Run over me
Cleanse my sin
Bask in the sunshine
Sleep with no fear
Beautiful rain
Flow
Onward from here.

The sun has faded from the sky
As clouds slowly roll
Across tree tops
Dropping rain on their way
To somewhere important
Far away.
I sit back
Enjoy the scene
Transpiring before me
On this cloudy rainy day
When the sun has faded
From my sight.
The world turns
The sun rises
Beams across the sky
And as time goes on
Fades from my eye.
Don’t ask why
Just be there please
By my side
As the sun fades
From the sky.

The current prognosis is dim
Rain, more rain and then rain
Roof leaking
Raging river in the eavestrough
Basement flooded
Walkway a flood plain
Rain, more rain and then rain.
Build an ark, fly a plane
Off to some high, dry plain
Rain, more rain and then rain.
The mood shifts
Clouds part
Sun beams rays of warmth
Down upon drying pools
Of scattered rain
No more rain, no more rain
Blessed be the sun’s rays
Drying up the clouds rain.

Sacrifice nothing
Join in the fight of your life.
Rain patters down in a trickle of might.
The ground is a maze, hard to decipher
Which is right and really does matter.
