Rain

Not a weather forecast but one of the Stanza Stones

The Stanza Stones are 6 short poems by Simon Armitage and carved into rocks at locations in the South Pennines between Marsden and Ilkley.  They have been incorporated into a long distance walk or can be visited separately.

RAIN
Be glad of these freshwater tears,
Each pearled droplet some salty old sea-bullet
Air-lifted out of the waves, then laundered and sieved, recast as a soft bead and returned.
And no matter how much it strafes or sheets, it is no mean feat to catch one raindrop clean in the mouth,
To take one drop on the tongue, tasting cloud pollen, grain of the heavens, raw sky.
Let it teem, up here where the front of the mind distils the brunt of the world.
