I Am the Rain

I am the rain… Squeezed out of dark clouds of experience Thundering, booming, pounding down Falling, pouring, crashing down You love me You hate me You hide from me You dance in me You want me to stay You want to drive me away I am the rain… I drench you I soak you I make you scream I tease you I please you I make you dream Ask me!!! I can….. Bathe your body Saturate your soul Flood your heart Seep into your mind I have wet healing In my droplets of hope, life, and love I am the gentle rain I am the angry rain I am the soothing rain I am the seething rain I am the joyful rain I am the mournful rain I am the rain I am the rain But you…… You are the sun!

This is perfect, although I have always thought of you as sunshine.
