Rain in Spring

new Narnia poem I recently wrote

Rain in Spring
She is gentle still and calls to you
She is soft and warm as she caresses you
She falls in droplets from the sky
From the clouds that are on high

Drop by drop down she goes
Making music with soft sound
Rain in spring sent to melt to snow
That so long captive the ground

How strange it seems, so frail is she
Yet to her the snow must surrender
For he has no power or might
Against this warm and gentle weather

Drop by drop the spring rain falls
Bring freshness to the Narnian air
Making all around clean and calm
Making all around beautiful and fair

Spring has come to Narnia
Replacing snow with rain
And how the creatures do rejoice
That at last Spring came

Soon the flowers will bloom
And the dryads hair will fill with leaves
Soon the river will flow again
And the meadows will be green

Soft and gentle the rain falls
Delightful rain that hails spring
And with each drop we can watch
How winter surrenders and takes its leave
