Rain

The rain let down in moving sheets of liquid ribbons
and the garden shivered with delight.
The plants lifted upward their cupping leaves and flowers
forming vessels of collected water droplets.
Their roots moved in musical rhythm
searching deeper the anticipated swelling of the wet earth.
And as if by a mystical transformation, they grew and expanded in time and space,
becoming brighter, stronger and more alive.
