Cleansing Rain

I sit out on my covered porch The raindrops pelting the tin roof I have always welcomed the rain As it refreshes everything around me The rumble from the thunder is rhythmic As it echoes through the mountain valley Listening to Mother Nature’s heartbeat is so soothing The rumble making me feel whole again The distant lightning cuts through the darkened sky Like an artist’s brush on nature’s canvas It’s fascinating to watch nature’s fireworks Both beautiful and destructive at the same time The lush green hills have been revived Wildflowers will soon be back in bloom It’s like a rebirth of sorts Giving me hope for a new start of my own
