After the Rain

The clouds were chased away Leaving behind thirst quenching rain Glittering pearls of moisture With rainbows in every droplet Warm sunrays breaking through Ever so gentle and soothing A veil of peaceful silence fallen Breathing candied sighs of relief A sweet taste of serenity The frightful wind vanished Welcoming calm after the storm A still hush of lightheartedness Extend a warm nurturing caress Basking in a doting sun Revitalized with a good stretch And sun’s soft kiss on my cheek Read on air by invitation ~ June 12, 2022 'POETS HARBOUR' Published in my photo/poetry book ~AFTER THE RAIN~ 2019 AP: 1st place 2020 Submitted on December 26, 2019 for contest STRAND SPECIAL 10 sponsored by BRIAN STRAND - RANKED 3RD and September 29, 2019 for contest YOUR BEST POEM THAT IS TROPHY (PREMIERE CONTEST) WORTHY CONTEST 1 sponsored by TANIA KITCHIN Originally posted on August 16, 2019

A darling write Line! I wrote about storms yesterday, but mine was a loud, clanging banging storm.
