I have met the rain in a land far away
Where the sun does not reach
I met the rain
In a house made of ice
It's only child the rainbow
Brought us tea
Blackberry tea seasoned with nettle
The rain told me of its time with the sun
Tales of a child born in a far away land
A colorful happy child
It told me of a brother who may tell me more

I have met the hail
I have walked with it
Down a long winding road
We sat at a bench
Beneath a tree
The hail was grumpy
No words I got from it
I only got a feeling-follow me
I was led to a lake
Covered with ice
No more can I tell you in this land
But my brother knows more
Go to him on my command

I have met the snow
In a land with no ground
Only clouds
Soft as a dream
What are these things?
I wanted to know
They are not the things that I see every day
Or I would just float through
The Snow smiled in an odd sort of way
My sister will know the answers to your questions
I have arranged travel to her

I have met the sun in soft white sand That floats through your fingers
My brothers and husband have sent you
That I know
But I cannot answer
Your unasked questions
I cannot see into space and read the stars
But my cousin can last I checked she is on Mars

I have met the lightning
I have gone on a race
Through space and time
With nothing but a chariot of light
Now I can say for certain nothing moves faster than the speed of light
You have no questions the Grand Lightning told me
But go to my husband for he has a way
For people to end up with more questions then they started with

I have met the thunder
He was just getting ready for a rock concert
His friend the tornado
Was warming up with hot chocolate
Hey kid what did you come here for
What's your name
What's your game
The lightning was right I don't know what I am here for

Today is another gray Seattle day
Other people bored but I am not I have to ...
Have tea with the rain
Walk with the hail
Rest with the snow
Sit with the sun
Race with lightning
Rock with the thunder
time to go
