My arrival is accompanied by the overture of thunder
And by the brightness and lucidity of streaking lightning.
I bring coolness and balm to all living things.

​

I gently kiss the petals of the rose, drop wet pearls on lilies
And leave the webs of spiders, shimmering in the light.
I bring life-giving refreshment to all that lives.

​

I dance down the hillsides, bring streamlets to life
And, with joyous rapture, I leap into fast flowing rivers,
Carrying along essential elements for living things.

​

I flow into taps to both refresh people with good water
And to bathe them in my entirety and sweetness,
Carrying my coolness, balm, refreshment to all.

​

My farewell is applauded by the blackbird's song.
The sunshine returns to warm the damp earth
And the colourful rainbow celebrates in its freshness.

​

I am, of course, the wellspring of life and Nature’s gift –
