Raining Answers


Piano keys plunk
But they can’t out play the
Plip
Plop
Plip
Of rain drops on a tin roof
Their rhythm is familiar
Yet unexpected
As they pound on the blacktop
Unlike any rain heard before
But just like every rain heard before
Plip
Plip
Plop
And you find yourself listening
Waiting for revelation
This is your mountain top
Surrounded by concrete and fake grass
You find your center
Sounding to the steady tinking of rain
When God doesn’t make sense
When answers you’ve been saying your whole life
Sound fake and rehearsed
When you give up on everything but love
It is the rain that brings you back
Back to what you’re not sure
But you know you’ve come back
Plop
Plip
Plip
Rhythmic and in time
Maybe not your time
But a time nonetheless
And you listen
Still waiting for revelation
Knowing it will come
Eventually
With a
Plip
Plop
Plip
