Let the New Day begin

Let the morning rain pour down
and wash away all yesterdays
Let all our April showers come
to birth all our yawning Mays.
Let the weighted petals fall
fall from drinking too much life.
And let the water quench us
where we burn in our own strife.
Let the pavement glitter
as once did Friday's skin
and let the Earth be showered
so a new day can begin.
