Haiku is traditionally 5-7-5, so would you call this Haiku-give-or-take-two? Also, haiku is not supposed to rhyme, so on two counts this already isn't really haiku.
I didn't fully understand the imagery here. Thinking of God having a "ceaseless blow" didn't make me think of reverential awe so much as thinking of someone with a cold. :) Not sure what "Muse Him mute" means, either. This one just didn't work for me, but I wish you the best & will look for more from you.

Unseen!;
Rain drops speak His glow
Gift lives, move His ceaseless blow
Muse Him mute; round message flow
Question; to whom is the author speaking of? I comes quite clear!
A very complete poem!

SENRYU (SEN-ree-yoo)
A 3-line unrhymed Japanese poetic form structurally similar to the haiku, but dealing with human rather than physical nature, usually in an ironic or satiric vein. II always have a hard time deciding which is which but the word he gives this one away.

Thank you so much AW,
you've chosen a nice idea to narrate your rather express your excellent angle of vision. Really everything in nature show gratefulness to its being to Lord God.
And this who can feel can contribute his or her tribute to God to.
As you did in your poem.

This is a lovely haiku written in your inimitable style AW. With a few well chosen words you manage to describe the essence of raindrops in such a spiritual way. Well done.

As I understand it, haiku are not supposed to rhyme and if they do, the rhyme should be accidental (I have three haiku published in Japan, which do not rhyme), But otherwise you have done a fine job with this poem. It splits naturally into a phrase about nature in the first two lines, and a satori (moment of insight) in the last line. Nice alliteration in the third line, and there is a clear natural break between the second and third line--so clear that no punctuation is needed. Good job.

Rain drops speak His glow- i love rain- it's soothing
Gift lives, move His ceaseless blow- true- makes life go 'round
Muse Him mute; round message flow- you have an interesting collection starting here
