The Rain is Overly Generous

The rain
Is overly
generous

Giving us
More than
enough

Instead
Of just
enough

Not because
it is
extravagant

Simply
because

There is
no way
For it to
measure

too little,

or too
much

or just
enough

So it
falls

Until
There
is Nothing
Left

And love
Should be
Like the rain

Giving itself

To the point
Of depletion

Drenching
The body

Penetrating
the soul

Right down
To the bone

So when you
Are alone

In a place
Where
It never rains

You will
Still remember
How love felt

How it
might feel
again
