The clouds cover the sky
A big wool blanket
Blocking light
Everything is dull, muted, darker
Wet, soggy, drowned
Despite the soaking the rain pours
drip
drip
drip
Until it spills over
Soaked ground unable to hold anymore
Without warning there’s a break
Small at first
A vein of light
The clouds move on
Blanket lifted
Sun shining, drying the saturated earth
Now you see
The littlest sprouts, green
Shoots reaching up to the heavens
Opening their petals in joyful praise
There is no spring
No color
No life
Without a rainy season

And this is the absolute truth (and in such a pretty package)!
Yes- rain must fall for growth. So true.
And I adore the grayscale b&w capture of droplets. Pretty!
Love this, and it's so needed right now since every single day {and night} it has been raining here. However, like you said you can't have one without the other, and sometimes there are rainbows after the rain. :-)
