Autumn's Rain Soothes My Soul
Sitting on the porch, a chill breeze caresses my face
as storm birds fly, seeking the shelter of a dry place.
Along the lake shore, trees sway to Nature's tune
the music she arranged for Ra, the sun and Luna Moon.
Threatening clouds grow weary of hovering in the sky.
Needing to spill their rain, they start racing swiftly by.
Now, the day is dreary and nearly as dark as night,
but gloomy weather repletes my heart with delight.
Autumn's rain soothes my soul with gentle showers.
Silver pearls fall to quench the thirst of petaled flowers.
It's the nurturing they need to bloom and survive.
Rainy days energize my spirit and make me feel alive.
I hear a symphony playing, dueling against the wind.
Loud percussion instruments but I'm not chagrined.
Lightning bolts are batons, waved in rhythmic time.
Thunder plays a snare drum, and the impact is sublime.
A chorus of crickets chirp and ribbits bellow from a frog.
In baritone voice he croaks while sitting perched on a log.
In the drizzle there's a melodic concert, and I sing along
to rain pattering on the roof in a perfect rainy-day song.
