Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

After the Rain

The clouds were chased away
Leaving behind thirst quenching rain
Glittering pearls of moisture
With rainbows in every droplet

Warm sunrays breaking through
Ever so gentle and soothing
A veil of peaceful silence fallen
Breathing candied sighs of relief

A sweet taste of serenity
The frightful wind vanished
Welcoming calm after the storm
A still hush of lightheartedness

Extend a warm nurturing caress
Basking in a doting sun
Revitalized with a good stretch
And sun’s soft kiss on my cheek
