First Raindrop

Dr  Abe V Rotor

The sky is as blue as the sea

... and the bench is empty, 

Then it came, the first raindrop in May.

Wish not the doldrums to put you to rest

When everything isn't in your favor,

and the wind doesn't blow toward the shore;

wish not the doldrums to put you to rest;

temper my friend, you are put to the test.

And many times, as seasons come and go,
in battle and calm, and in coming through
the dark night and glowing the light of light -
it's the spirit my friend, face life and fight.  ~
