God is dumping the seas upon our heads
Days and days of rain
Relentless
Like a flood pouring from the skies.
This island is drenched
Saturated
Soaked
Like I would be
Were it not for this screened
Roofed sanctuary
The rain comes thru
In little spatters
Spits on me and this screen
Sweet sounds
Water makes
Smacking big green tropical leaves
Thumping a constant drone
Like the raging seas
Smacking again and again
Into black, volcanic rock
It is night again
The Cokee’s sing still
With sheets of water pouring upon them
Still they sing
Finding each other
Thru the eternal watering
Rhythm songs
Frogs are masters
Echoeing above it all
They pierce the night
Melodies divine
Rhythm rhapsody ride
I love to listen
All night long
Sometimes it’s hard to sleep
I want to hear it all
To absorb it
To make it part of me
This place
Pure, Free, Abundant in Life
I want to merge with it
So I stay present thru the night
Listening in my dreams
The rain always comes again here
Breathing moments before it falls again
All night long
All day long
The rain is my solid companion
Barely above the wind and rain
The ocean roars
Loud in my ears, I breathe to it
In and out with the surf
Rhythmical
Always present
Always powerful
Wild, white water
Cascading against black rocks
I see it in here
From my bed
I see it
As part of me now
God is weeping the tears for a million lives lived
For those whose lands are filled with terror
Whose eyes may never see
The beauty that I know
In every moment
In every day
Even here
With the rain falling
Hard, fast and constant
Still
There is beauty beyond beauty
