Healing Rain
by Tim Kavi
gentle woman
I see you sleeping
see you twist there
for you awaken many times
writhing in pain
your scars
are kissed by me every day
and your aches soothed
by my love
yet I line up your medicines
hold your hand gently
help your labored breaths
inject your pain meds
apply a wet rag to your hurting face
I pray and pray
and love you so deeply
as we sing together softly
and hold each other in love
I feel the teardrops falling
and I see they
have become a healing rain.
