lyrics

Like Every Piece of Earth


I cannot help but be touched
and renewed by the rain, each drop

cleansing and penetrating the old
Earth’s skin, feeding life

and creativity—
first Fall rains.

They begin the mouldering
of leaves back into soil to nurture

those from which they fell.

the hydrologic cycle the pattering
of drops

on the leaf-strewn ground is the sound
of thirst quenched, of parched

old bones gladly receiving life again,
after a long season of drought, and all the world

rejoices in the bestowing
of liquid life in this
baptism
of the year.

When the rain comes

it cleanses all

such is the power of fresh water—
pulling the salts

and poisons out of the land
and ourselves

to the Great Mother Oceans
with seemingly
boundless tolerance

for our profane ways

of Being; replentishing and refreshing—

This is the New Year: when fresh shoots
spring up or are stirred

to awaken Yes this

is the renewing.
