A Rainy Day

Rain, I adore, I impatiently wait for, Like a wife awaits her husband from war. Sloshing, splashing scintillating drops, Soothing my skin with hopes along with my smudged heart, Rain, my first love, my sweetheart. Laying on the gullible grass, Staring at the sublime sky, Thinking of life's dreams made of glass, As the drops fall, lifting me to fly. After the sky is clear, Leaving the earthy smell That to my heart is so dear. Freesias, nasturtiums and bluebells. The sun, masquerading behind creamy clouds, Willows are not weeping, rain swept away their doubts. Wisterias are waltzing with the wind, Gardenias and Geraniums grinned. What a joy it is to be a mortal! Life, a mix of smiles, beauty and chortles.

Dearest Anne, I love the aspects of how your words radiate joy and renewal, transforming rain from a symbol of sadness into one of hope and gentle healing. Like the best rain poetry, you show how rain soothes the heart and inspires dreams, nurturing flowers and lifting the spirit. Your imagery with lush gardens, playful clouds, and the fresh scent after rain reminds me that even life’s storms can bring beauty, growth, and gratitude. Excellent! Spring Blessings, My Dearest Friend, Daniel

Dearest Daniel, yes, sometimes storms are more beautiful than anything. Storms remind us that it's okay to be imperfect. I have always loved the rain since I was five. I used to go outside and play in the rain a lot. It always used to make me happy. I appreciate you, my dearest friend, Anne
