Today was Thursday - Thor's Day
and sure enough it rained
I guess the god was moved
to wield his hammer
one more time
before the long dry
summer was upon us

After a mild winter
like this past one
every drop is precious
all the more so
in these mountains
prone to summer fires

So we bless
the rain that falls
as Mathew says
both on the just
and on the unjust
and we only hope
it will decide
to fall on us
