A Woman Rains

Descending from the Berkshires
Taking the long way on purpose
Winding road
Following the river
Rain hitting the car
Music's on
Singing along
I'm raining, too
Just like Gaia
Because sometimes
A woman's heart rains
Not to say it's too much
Not that she can't handle it
It's not even because she CAN handle it
She can, and she does
There are days when a woman rains
Because like Gaia
She's connected with it all
Creation 
Birth and death
Life, people 
All of it
Who we are, what we do
And while she walks and moves
Through life
And in spirit
She feels EVERYTHING
Her triumphs, her falls
And all of yours too
There are times
When there isn't a refuge
A place to pause
And be enveloped in warmth
And so, it's natural
For the rain to fall
Water flows, like the river
Moving, life's journey
Cleansing, freeing rain
A cool, sweet scented breeze follows
And the air is changed
She looks up, seeing the sun
And with a joyful heart
Returns to the beautiful task
Of living, dreaming
Being
