*Illustration reference:
Animated film "My Neighbor Totoro" (1988).
Written and directed by
Hayao Miyazaki
The rain it washes, cleans, restores
Undirties all as down it pours
Refreshing that which glooms with dust
Nourish buds till full and lush
The blades of grass that wilt in heat
Breathe sigh of ease and droop replete
The cooling breeze from blue-gray skies
Is welcomed break from baking highs
Tis Nature’s way, this harmony
The ups, the downs, brings calm to me
Relentless sun would drive us mad
Unending storms be just as bad
But in exchange, when balance met
About as good as it can get
So wake up smiling though it squalls
Stay dry inside while deluge falls
The sun will shine and warm again
A world refreshed, as right as rain!
