A Simple Refrain

a sweet refrain walking in the rain
a child’s game walking in the rain

winds rustle leaves, nature’s song
a sweet refrain walking in the rain

cool relief from a sultry day
I step outside walking in the rain

light diffused veil of clouds
time shadows me walking in the rain

lush green leaves a summer day
weather front I’d say walking in the rain

the sun rests leaves dance
I listen to summer’s song walking in the rain

a wave of the arms imagination wings
childhood relived I’m walking in the rain

nothing to lose everything to gain
a simple joy found walking in the rain

A lovely ghazal. Not as easy to write as many think.

I love this Ghazal form. you do it very well. Aren't you supposed to name youself in one of the last lines? I always found that strange about the form. Anyway, I sure enjoyed this, Mike.
