Rain, Rain

How can I

Ever look away

From the sky

At the end of the day?

How can you

Tear your gaze

From this sacred blue

Behind sunshine’s rays?

Impossible task-

Hope drowned in vain;

There is no need to ask-

You miss the rain-

Miss what it contains;

It washes away

The earth’s hidden pain.

It makes the world like new-

There is no reason

To question you

And why you miss the rain. 

I do too. 

Its absence is felt

In the smallest drought;

Heat and anger

Linger about 

Until the rain returns

And cries its sadness

For causing the world to mourn

Its unannounced leave;

There is no wonder

Why all of us cleave

To the tears in the thunder.

I love each line of the piece which vividly glorified rain.
The value of rain has been magnified by the eloquent expression
of the writer.
Like these lines as the most favorite ones.
"Its absence is felt
In the smallest drought.
Heat and anger
Linger about
Until the rain returns"
