# it takes some rain

    10th May 2007   [poetry](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:poetry#body-wrapper) [writing](https://stevenjaycohen.com/tag:writing#body-wrapper)  

there are joyful seeds planted before the rain.

and I sit in wonder of joy

while all I can do is smell the storm.

I understand rain feeds growth

But, I cannot find the place in me that knows this.

I struggle to know.

And, I know that if I would only cease the struggle, the knowing would follow.
