RAINBIRD

In an aquamarine sky
the translucent
cloud feathers
of the rainbird
begin together
to gather


RAIN FALLS BUBBLES RISE


Rain drops fall
and bubbles rise
Some tides ebb
Some inflow
Some wend to
Some wend fro
Each with
his own
way to go


RAIN TIPTOES

Rain tiptoes
into roots
before sunwanded
into juice


TRANSUBSTANTIATING RAIN


How did the
sweet rain
transubstaniate
to juice of pear?

(to J and R Pear)

RAIN AT SEA

Rain at sea..
redundancy

RAIN ARROWS

Do rain arrows
come from the rain-bow?
his band a poststorm sign
that his weapon has
been put down?


RAIN COMES TO COCONUT PALM

How does rain enter
beloved coconut's shell?
Through humility's gate: the roots...
then to tree heart and
to the magnificent fruit


Note:
Coconuts contain lauric acid, conducive to meditation.
Coconut shells can be used for many things.
Coconut milk and coconut flesh are a perfect food.


RAINBOW COVENANT

Vowbreakers:
Zeus with Calisto..
Odysseus
next with Calypso

but not the One God with infinite names
who made a rainbow covenant with all.

RAIN AND RAINBOW VERSION 2


Can there be rainbows
without rain?
Can joy be born without
its mother pain
Yes.. there is nothing
God cannot attain


RAINBOW GATE

A raindrop quenches
a fruit fly's lifespark...
sending
her to better life.

A bee caught in amber
goes on to heaven's chambers

PREPARED FOR RAIN

The parasol
is prepared for Sol
but also for
April's mercy rains.

RAIN DANCING

They do a
tribal rain dance
that on their roofs
and on all plants
rain gifts will fall
and rain will dance
