It falls upon
the driest ground -
dry, and cold, in winter.
It washes clean
the world around
and helps it to remember
what it means
to be so clean
to feel fresh, well-watered.
It reminds
our tired minds
of voices we have not heard
since before
the drops last fell
and cleansed our hearts for hearing
words so sweet
that speak of hope
and tell us spring is nearing.
