NEHS Poetry Contest Winner - 3rd Place

 

There Have Come Spring Rains

by Leah Reynolds

 

Spring rains, here to stay.

Through your haze the world seems fey.

You cover all indiscriminately

Reminding our instincts of the primordial sea

And bringing life or destruction as you please.

 

Is rain a cliché, or an old mystery?

A herald of gloom, or of peace that could be?

Regardless, it holds charm for me.

So rain, rain, have your way.

Wash me through another day.
