Kiss the Rain

Time off from the chaotic rhythm of the office Exhausted from a long day’s work Never mind, for tomorrow is a chance to peep In the blue haze of early morning Another day, another chance Of a wishful thinking of the seventh heaven That a Godsend may soon fall to earth in drops To break the silence of the morning I need the rain to accompany me And lull me into a deep therapeutic easiness Unbosoming the thoughts of turning back time Between playful stomping and dancing on water puddles The cloud drifted on to reveal a blinding cloudburst The first sign of a light drizzle gave hope Therefore, I looked upward to the gossamer layers of clouds As railing rains trickle down my face I opened my parched lips and closed my eyes to kiss the rain 23 February 2013

Noel, I was reading this one again. it's so nice! I am thinking that one word you use is probably puddles. when you say water piles. Do you know puddles? I am sure that is what you mean!!
