You are the gentle Rain

By Tom Swart

My dearest Love;

You are the morning with a gentle rain
that brings life to a dawning world.
It is you that causes the birds
to open their hearts and breath
their songs of love to this morning air.

You are the meadow of my thoughts,
with flowers reflecting your light
into the day through the tear drops
of the night that rest on
the peddles of its tender flock.

You are the afternoon that
has savored this mornings dew
and has enriched its trees
with fuller leaves to provide shade
and shelter for a lovers nest.

You are the gentle breeze of the day
that gives avenue for the soaring birds
and a frame for the clouds in the sky.
You are the beautiful sunset
at even tide which gives birth
to a lovers night.

You are the long shadows
which blanket the days
heat and cools the earths fire.
You are the moons reflection
Dancing on a crystal clear lake
shining its beams into every Lover’s heart.

You are natures conductor
gently striking your Baton
waking the forest so it
may release its melody to the Night.
You are the cool wind that
cries throughout the night
roaming the Darkness waiting for the dawn.

You are in the dreams of my Slumber
as this wind rustles the trees
and sweeps the air clean
For the beginning of a new day.

Another day to bring me thoughts
And hopes for you that you
may continue to fill this loving heart.
