WildWords – Trembling Leaves

It begins in obscurity,
in the graying of the light,
when the lilac leaves tremble
one by one,
like tiny green drums
kissed by wet hands.

I watch them
and know something of prayer:
not certainty,
not brightness,
not the approaching thunder of answer,
but this—
the dimming light,
the damp touch,
the fragile rhythm
of what remains alive
even when the whole world
seems to fade
at the edges.

And I,
quiet as the darkening earth,
learn again
that creation often prays
before it weeps,

that the body trembles
before the sorrow comes,
that even fear
can be a kind of listening

when the world wans
and the leaves begin
their soft percussion
under the subtle caress of rain.

What light through yonder rainbow breaks, or whatever Shakespeare said. A sunny moment during a rainstorm here in Northern California

Lilith has a sense of humor. it's raining out, I went out to go get the mail. stopped on the landing between both sets of outside stairs and just raised my arms to the sky because, first spring rain shower... well the second I did. it started to rain, harder. well ok. sense of humor. I must laugh, very hard right now.
