After The Rain

Rain is the power of nature,
But at the same time one of her many works of art,
Her drops are pure and crystalline like a baby's soul.
She has the power to purify.
So instead of running away from her,
Under the shelter of an umbrella,
Stand under her with eyes closed,
With arms spread open,
And listen to her story,
As her drops tumble over your skin.

- Gaia (my daugther 19/07/08

Song of the rain

I am dotted silver threads dropped from heaven
By the gods. Nature then takes me, to adorn
Her fields and valleys.

I am beautiful pearls, plucked from the
Crown of Ishtar by the daughter of Dawn
To embellish the gardens.

When I cry the hills laugh;
When I humble myself the flowers rejoice;
When I bow, all things are elated.

The field and the cloud are lovers
And between them I am a messenger of mercy.
I quench the thirst of one;
I cure the ailment of the other.

The voice of thunder declares my arrival;
The rainbow announces my departure.
I am like earthly life, which begins at
The feet of the mad elements and ends
Under the upraised wings of death.

I emerge from the heart of the sea
Soar with the breeze. When I see a field in
Need, I descend and embrace the flowers and
The trees in a million little ways.

I touch gently at the windows with my
Soft fingers, and my announcement is a
Welcome song. All can hear, but only
The sensitive can understand.

The heat in the air gives birth to me,
But in turn I kill it,
As woman overcomes man with
The strength she takes from him.

I am the sigh of the sea;
The laughter of the field;
The tears of heaven.

So with love —
Sighs from the deep sea of affection;
Laughter from the colorful field of the spirit;
Tears from the endless heaven of memories.
- Kahlil Gibran

@acuity1980 Thanks a lot . Happy to know you liked my pics. I took a look on google about your questioin. I found 2 different tiltles about this song: THE THEME OF TEARS is the complete tiltle of NICOLE NO PIANO, and NAMIDA NO THEME.

This song is from GUNDAM SEED DESTINY ANIME a japanise cartoon I guess.
