"mother's rain father's fury
bare consequences of both
I am fire and rain"
Though I wonder if in keeping with using "fire" in place of "fury", if there might be something to use in place of repeating "rain". Perhaps even the simple, Zodical water?

Be well, dear friend.
speak as eloquently as Dusty..

Everything is sacred, all is related and interdependent, and the answers you seek are all around you.
excellent poem...almost a prayer.
Thank you
love the sparse language and independent, yet connected lines.
