Rain

When the rain comes 

It cleans everything 

Streets are washed

Thirsty plants turn greener

Flowers flourish 

Grass grows taller

The air is fresher

Everything looks new

When the rain comes 

It slows down the world

The sound is calming

Almost hypnotic 

Animals seek shelter 

Watching 

As each drop comes

Knowing the earth is being replenished 

When the rain comes 

Life comes

Your words, their brevity, adds to the gentle beauty and sight of your poem. I leave, quietly, not wanting to lose the feelings and visuals you've passed on.. and on... thank you.
