 * **After The Rain (For Doc Neeson)**



After the rain When cascading rivulets Have worked their way into the cracks There’s nothing left To be washed away.

After the rain The clear open sky Invites you Forward

Having been cleansed again

After the rain Buds push up For the sun Away from their now sprouting roots

That have had the need to drink the fallen water up

After the rain When you walk Into the earth Your tread partly squishes

But you only sink so far

After the rain In certain Parts of This wide world

Floods can wash you and yours away.

After the rain Comes The Dry Season Again

That’s the time you think of, and wish for rain

They say that The grass is greener On the other side Of the hill

But that is only after rain.

Now you have become the bones of That old man in a dry season Somehow, still reading to all those young boys Those that are still waiting for the rain.

You’ve taken all the gold from the teeth Painted your masterpiece Sweet Jesus Take the Blame, who knows whose star is falling

After the rain

After the rain When cascading rivulets Have sluiced their way There’s nothing left To be washed away. After the rain

After the rain The fresh open sky Seems to say Come with me Into the brand new day? After the rain

Sometimes it seems that the drought will stay All seeds of hope dry up in vain Young men shrink and young girls fade Sweet Jesus cannot lift the shame Before the rain

After the rain Buds push through Life fills every vein Their roots stretch out They live again After the rain
