Rain
A rumble in the distance
Growing, radiating power
The strong taste on the wind
Crisp and sweet
The heavens open, pouring
down
Tears of happiness and relief
A soothing rhythm
Familiar and comforting
Like a whispered lullaby
Or a pulsing heart beat
A song only I can hear
Ringing in my ears
A steady beat on the pavement
A simple dance with simple
steps
I lift up my face
To catch them as they fall
The cool touch on my skin
Drowning out the world
Letting go and just forgetting
As the sky falls around me
I am free
To dance in the storm
