| Scottish Rain (M.A.Reilly) |
Spring Storm
The sky has given over its bitterness. Out of the dark change all day long rain falls and falls as if it would never end. Still the snow keeps its hold on the ground. But water, water from a thousand runnels! It collects swiftly, dappled with black cuts a way for itself through green ice in the gutters. Drop after drop it falls from the withered grass-stems of the overhanging embankment.
Let it wash over, through, and around us. Let it cleanse the earth and wash away our tears. Let the rain bring a new and better day.
