Rainy Day Muse

 

Little drops of heaven

Bring cleansing to the Earth

And a peace washing my soul.

Content I am to be

In the presence

Of this waterfall

Designed by the architect

That brought us the world.

Never could I ever tire

Of the sight and sounds

From the beauty of this

Often overlooked blessing.

How very true and beautifully put, Dale.. the time after gentle rain is wonderful, the air tingles, the leaves glow, is incredible. After heavy rains there's far more concern but even then the air smells like freedom.. like magic.. unless of course there's flooding and danger about. Another topic of course, plus I rather think that up to now and presently, of late, many Australians beg for rain, more rain.. as much as can be given to quell their terrible fires.

Whilst you write lovely lines in praise, God, Nature, meteorological circumstances are the givers of the finest Gifts. Scientists will say that rain and the bee are the alternate bur ultimate givers.. without both the world would die. Your wonderful poem just stresses that. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you for such lovely feedback my lady.

Always my pleasure and should be far more often, Dale.

Your poetic expression in these lines is wonderful Dale. Rainfall is indeed beautiful and often unappreciated. Nothing like refreshing raindrops after a scorching hot day, and I love watching the plants in the garden drink up after a thirsty spell. We have certainly had a wet spell here recently. The river bursting its banks and creating lakes on the flood plain. Very lovely to look at. Fortunately no homes near me flooded. Can be so cleansing when you get a good soaking.

Thank you for the feedback... I can sit and listen to the rain and be at peace even if life is chaos. Also nothing like the smell of the fresh air after the rain.

[Chris Shaw]

I agree about the smell of the air after rainfall. It is wonderful.

[Gee]

I believe that smell is called petrichor, but could well be wrong :)

[Chris Shaw]

Looked it up, you are right. It should be bottled :))

“Designed by the architect that brought us the world.” - just beautiful Dale! Such an inspirational and uplifting poem of faith. Yes, sometimes we need a reminder of the miracles we see every day. Thank you for this lovely reminder.

i like the reference to God as the architect...
for poets, "rainy days and muses always bring us up"---
severely good wording in this one, my friend.
