Rain
The drumming of rain and tapping of raindrops
Booming thunder, swishing, splashing of cars
Cleansing of the city, the distant rolling
Power and anger of a rain storm
Weather forecast, rain
Wet foliage, the call of birds chirping melodies
The hum and constant dripping of the storm
Candlelight within my dwelling, flickering
The dripping, dripping, dripping
Weather forecast, rain
The hush of fading raindrops, the gentleness
Peacefulness and tranquility within me
Hypnotizing rain, rain, rain falling
The sweet smell of the city
Weather forecast, rain
The calmness envelopes my soul and mind
A purring, soft cat sleeps on my lap
Steaming cup of chocolate cafe
Stillness of rain, beautiful
Weather forecast, rain
