Rain behind my window

My release is when I leave the world behind and enter my door

to the place that I can give way to my own thoughts

there is a fine particle floating through the trees magnified by the suns rays

it moves up, down, side to side gentle and light as air but its moment is brief

The fall sky fills with clouds

the sun gives way and allows the coming of the rain

       From a warm cup of liquid I sip

       in my quiet hidden little nook

       As my mind goes off into the imaginary trip

       from my window seat where I look

As the last warm wind blows the trees bend and sway

like a giant stretching after a leisurely day

shaking off the leaves of summer.

The squirrels run to hide no more time for play

the blue glow from the clouds fills the air

as the wind stops there is no movement

all birds find shelter and the sky is bare

the trees are all somber and their leaves grow quiet

in happy anticipation through my window I stare

As the first drops touch the glass, I feel the safety of the rain close away the world, it provides a wall to keep out  my worries and cares

The world becomes tranquil all living souls disappears and hide away

the trees stop stretching and the dust filtering through the air is no more

   

     the steady falling of rain has a sound so restful

     if only it washed away life's pain and  sorrow

     rain makes me forget and for a while the world is peaceful

     that is why I love the rain from my nook behind my window
