There’s something about the rain
that brings people together
huddling under thin awnings
gathering into lobbies
looking out
planning a quick escape.
There’s something about the rain
that refreshes souls and people
reminding us of summer days
running through sprinklers
humbling us
by drenching our hair and clothes.
There’s something about the sun
that warms broken and lonely hearts
demanding we get outside
basking in the light
remembering that a new day dawns.
There something about the sun
that recalls resurrection
transforming us into new creations
asking us to believe in hope and love
again.
