I have tasted the rain
Falling

And deadly,
Both
Flooding the senses
(ense this;
It is general
Consensus
That we will ache
In life)t

I have tasted drops formed from
Mo ai

And dew formed upon

s s s s s(teady yourself.
You can bend
And also mend)
That grows
Taller than I do(not compare).
I aspire to be such grass,
Even as I taste rain
That
t m u o l s t u u l u y
Drowns even the ocean
(I fear the water
But oh I know it is passionate).
It waters these roots
(u
n
will come again)
And I fasten myself further
And my limbs Ache such an Ache
And it is in the Aching
That I am
Making myself(or the
B eaking
r
never lasts)
And I follow my mothers
(the mothers, the daughters, how holy are our
Spirits)
Who have bathed in the rain.
Earth is a woman of virtue leading the raindance
jump love song
Within the stars(hethey have watched the stars
o
eagerly)
And I am a mere virgin born from her and Mercury,
Virgin to myself,
My messages,
My rains(o many are yet to come.
So many have been weathered),
My pains.
So it seems.
My hair has turned green
And I find new names
And grow gr
a
s
Strong roots
(They say it is greener
But familiar dewdroprains
Scale the blades of our eyes
With Emerald hues if we open them)
When I practice
(oh it takes practice.
All in due time) the raindance
jump love song.
