This is another old one from back in 2018
You can see teh original text version
as well as an in depth description
Of what the poem is about
And who it was dedicated too, here -

Rain

The rain falls like a sacred anthem
Quietly echoing my careworn soul
Her melancholic hymn is so familiar
She draws me onward like a pilgrim
Perhaps that is why I am barefoot
Like Moses before the burning bush
I feel the tears of heaven washing
My bare feet like Mary Magdalene
The rain sooths like a sacrament
Absolving the streets of their sins
She sprinkles my soul in acceptance
I give in to her elemental absolution
The rain embraces everything I am
Without judgment’s callous gavel
The rain weeps for me in empathy
Inscribing the path my tears trace
She welcomes me into fellowship
I am speechless before her grace
Her caress brings life and renewal
I taste her cool kiss across my lips
I know I am safe in her soft arms
For rain is a compassionate lover
