After the Rain

After the rain slowed, It kept dripping from the leaves As the sun shined through gray skies above A perfect recipe for a rainbow was in the making Somewhere, I am sure it could be seen These tall trees surround me, in my own place Just earlier, the cool drops touched my skin So refreshing in the heat, with a change in the air My mind was washed away with many thoughts Long enough to bring relief to a busy mind Now, the rain has slowed to a new beginning Of light, peace and green shining leaves Heidi Sands 8/8/20

Hello Heidi ... the smell of rain in the air after a long hot dry smell is mesmerizing and after the rain it all feels so refreshing - enjoyed your verse Heidi - Lindsay

Hi Anne-Lise. We actually got a lot of rain with a recent tropical storm. But today, the rain felt nice after the heat in the sun. Wow, you sure have had a lot of rain. I hope more sunshine comes your way. Thank you for your comment. I hope you have a nice weekend too :)
