For California


windchimes chirp in the breeze
overhead the sky begins to roll
the clouds fill with foreboding darkness
rumbles of thunder encourage the rain
slowly, ever slowly, the droplets come
we dance and we chant and the rains come
the drums beat for the healing of the earth
so scorched from months of burning
here it is, the soothing rinse of rain
thank you God for cleansing the land
protect the people, give them safety
but slake the thirst of the mountains
bring new growth, green, strong, vital
