/Phoenix/
Did you hear the rain last night?
Early, early, before the dawn?
While you slept, while you dreamt,
While the dark had poised its sheath;
The sleeping clouds had shunned the sky,
Grumbling, in their low, dull-roar;
While furied heaven's swollen ire
Wreaked wet upon the mottled dust.
The crimson bead that cracked the air,
Purged the blackness o'er the edge;
Thrusting, spilling, casting forth,
The bright that brought my visage near;
Of tiny, settled, jewelled tears,
That lay upon the grateful green;
And nourished all those chose to drink.
By this the teem of life doth spring!
Oh, wonderous ardor that we call life,
Whose growth demands the seed of strife!
Did you hear the rain last night?
S.R.Bloodworth 8Sep88
