The rain

It's raining out now...

"You know i've always loved the rain,

to sing, to play...

to dance...

the balance of air and water"

Those tiny continuos droplets,

a new found energy,

from the sky to my skin

the ladder of life,

erasing all traces of sin...

today i'll be singing,

i'll open my mouth to the beautiful ballads,

i'll let the wind howl its hues,

and the trees choir their tunes,

enjoy the rhythm of the blues...

then i'll sing and dance, be it only noon...

i'll move my feet to the lovely beat,

the tap dance of the drops on the concrete,

the cadential growling of the thunder,

the gentle downpour...

to dance is to live, 

to rain is to dance.

i'll let the world be my audience,

the lightning be my light,

we'll show flashes of freedom,

when the thunder echoes its base, 

and the trees howl their best

there'll be moments splendor,

when hills reach the clouds...

the fertile earth kisses the sky,

there'll be illusions of creation,

when the spirit of the rain sprinkles itself all over,

and blossoms of all kinds spring to life 

i'll be thinking of you, 

moving my body to funky grooves.

i just might write a poem,

that starts with with sincere virtue,

and dedicate it to you...

but all the things rain makes me do,

most of all, i'd love to spend that time with you...

this is very dramatic. i love showing rain as gentle, and then building up to lightening and thunder. my favorite lines are "we'll show flashes of freedom" and "there'll be moments splendor, when hills reach the clouds...the fertile earth kisses the sky" the imagery is wonderful and happy, yet so (i hesitate to use this word because of its extreme over use) epic. it ends so calmly and sweetly...it makes me want to stand in the rain with my loved ones :)

I love rain- it is like a friend for me .. always feel comfortable when it rains.
Beautiful verse :

"Those tiny continuous droplets,
a new found energy,
from the sky to my skin
the ladder of life,
erasing all traces of sin."

I don't think I have seen a poem so beautifully written about the rain! This is wonderful love, water is a cleansing part of nature and if we can embrace that, such as here, well, perfection! Wonderful poem love! xx
