Dancing With the Rain

There came today a shower of delight, which pitter-pattered on my window pane. With youth’s exuberance, my mind took flight. Outside I ran, embracing April’s rain. How sweet its scent! My soul was filled with mirth, for I was truly living in the “now.” Upon my lips, I tasted earth’s rebirth as spring’s refreshment fell upon my brow. I paused nearby my ornamental pear, inhaling deeply, hearing skyfall’s sound. The world was singing; fragrance filled the air. I then began to twirl and twirl around. Oh, how I wish to feel that way again - so young and hope-filled, dancing with the rain!

This brings back so many good memories of my childhood! I loved springtime rains. All decked out in our yellow hooded raincoats and boots, splashing in mud puddles, wading in a swollen creek, sailing paper boats, etc....LOVE this poem! BIG congrats my friend - Tim

You haven't lived until you've been to Glastonbury When its raining , Dancing to live bands when you are up to your knee's in mud is an experience not to be missed. Spent this morning paying some of those silly bills you told me about, lol
