Christened By a Summer Rain

I spread my blanket under the trees
And marvel at the fickle breeze
It takes a turn, from warm to cool
To soothe my brow, as I lie down
I nap among the shady groves
Awakened by the scent of rain
One little drop, then down it pours
And like a child who plays outdoors
I'm christened now in nature's eyes
And laugh at summer's sweet surprise

I can be so in the moment you describe here right now-- we could use a bit of rain in this hot weather. I really enjoyed this, how you wrote this in a descriptive and lighthearted way-- what a beautiful moment that would be! Thank you so much for passing by my poems, such a delight to see you-- & leaving me such heartwarming comments-you are so sweet and in answer to you question: Yes!! I am nuts! Totally. I was smiling as I read what you wrote, thank you very much. Sending you warm hugs!
