Drops fall—not timidly but with intention
Each one lands like a signature of the sky
Soil softens beneath truths too heavy for sunlight
Rain teaches me the language of surrender
Water gathers in trenches I never noticed
Old wounds drink deeply grateful for attention
The storm speaks in syllables of mercy
My heartbeat absorbs the lesson
Rivulets crawl toward the open plain
dragging my sorrow with them
Hope follows behind barefoot fearless
Rain clears a road where none existed
Storm ends abruptly;silence widens
A new path glows faint across the washed earth
I step onto it without hesitation
Hope has always preferred wet ground
