Gentle rain falls

Soft mist refreshes everything, alive

With cool water.

–

Grass, trees, plants

Drink the fresh crystalline waters

Quenching all thirsts.

–

A distant flash

I can’t hear thunder yet

But it’s coming.

–

Storm clouds gather

The sky now looks orange

More lightning flashes.

–

The storm arrives

As the rain picks up

Now a downpour.

–

Taps away steadily

Against my bedroom window pane

Which relaxes me.

–

A sudden flash

Followed by crashes of thunder

And rushing wind.

–

Steady rain continues

The storm then eases up

Much softer now.

–

Closing my eyes

The gentle rain coaxes me

To needed rest.

–

Soft gentle blackness

Raindrops accompany me to bliss

Sleep and dreams…
