God's Almanac

April showers bring May flowers
so they say.

From thunderstorms, great gaudy spikes
of penstemon and lupine.
Scarlet roses from the dews of passion
and steady rains bring out the faithful violet.
Dry weather blooms into dusty lavender.
Rosemary grows out of the tears
that I shed in remembrance of the Beloved.

April's rainfall is recorded in the fields of May,
weather almanac of the heart, each page indited
by God in green ink blooming a thousand hues.
