By Michael W. Raley
Into each soul rain must fall
To cleanse us from the everyday toxins,
To wash away our impurities.
Just as the sky and clouds become
Brighter shades of blue and white,
So too are we renewed
When the storm front passes.
The soul rain brings us relief
And helps us to grow.
As we gain another experience,
Whether storm or shower,
We become more aware
Of what we need,
Focusing and refining our desires.
Although there are times
When the rain seems to linger
For far too long,
Just reflect back on the hot and dry days
When no relief was in sight.
Let the rain cleanse you,
O my soul,
For the new day is coming.
