Rain

Rain crackles on the sidewalks As the thunder bellows and roars. Cars hiss by on the wet streets As fallen leaves soar. Lightning flashes in the clouds As the trees dance in the wind. Chills and goosebumps rise on my arms As the cold rain hits my skin. Birds sing in their havens As rivers form in the parking lot. Blades of grass flinch and twitch  As they are pelted by raindrops. Cars sweat and weep buckets As they are left out in the stormy weather. Puddles form in the mud As raindrops splash ripples in them together. The scent of asphalt and rain Fills the cool, humid air As God’s rain calms my restless soul And washes away my despair.

The Princess and Her Pearls

There was a princess with pearls

Deemed holy, good, and bright.

They would shine in the morning sun

And glow brightly in the night.


One day, the princess saw a wild dog,

And she thought, “If it sees the pearls’ great glow.

“It will have a better life. I will give it some pearls.”

So the princess, meaning well, did so.


Then came a wild hog also.

“I’ll give him some pearls too,” the princess thought.

And she, meaning well, gave away

Some other pearls she’d brought.


But the dog and hog trampled the pearls,

So much so they lost their shine.

The dog turned upon the poor princess

And so also did the swine.

***

Inspired by Matthew 7:6.
