I am remembering
Knowing the gnawing time
knowing the age
when it all changed

when after the rain began falling
just as if it had forgotten how
to not fall
flood compensating for drought
drought compensating for flood

i keep remembering when
the reainbow was enough
when the rainbow was mocking peoples dreams
parading their wishes and loose hopes upon the unpromicing sky

i am remembered more for the hand i offered
than the word i uttered
more for the steps i take
than the mistakes i make
like rain
words that precipitate action are like harvested grain
food for the soul is as food for the brain
while most folks are brain drained
hungry for more than just mere survival
like migrant hostages hungry on arrival
it rains the rain
on both noble and profane
it rains on the meek and the insatiable
may i remember to ready my cup
