It fell -Relentless.
Soaking.
Pitiless.
It drenched my clothes and hair
and filled my shoes.
Once inside my car
it obscured my view
and resounded like
the myriad faults and excuses and fears
that encroached,
swamped,
and threatened to lift roots up
from depth and strength
and bring down
oak firm security
with a towering crash.
But as I listened -
and waited -
I realized that the deluge
was from Him.
Complete.
Healing.
Filling.
Merciful.
Satisfying.
Compassionate.
At the end,
when the rainbow
emerged,
and shimmered across the sky,
and I stood recovered -
I found myself filled with thankfulness
that He remembers
the small defenseless creature
that is
me.
