Rain in the Garden

rain in the garden

as it falls

the birds fly by

from nest to nest

each drop

a message from Heaven

we found our place

peace is to be reasoned

and grace shared

trees collect the water

their branches are heavy

the colours change

as does the sky

flowers are scattered

brightening the surroundings

may they always shape

our destiny

Raised by Wolves

take shelter from the gathering storm

we wait for it to pass

but we know in our hearts

fear prevails

as our surroundings darken

a path is found within

to lead us away to safety

what remains 

cannot be unbroken

like a child

fragile to begin with

then as strength returns

so shall we find in ourselves

the depth of courage

against disparity 

and awaken a truth

a burden of which we carry
