I celebrate the nimbus clouds
     stealthly gathering in a silent sky.
No great claps of thunder to shock
     my senses, no lightning bursts,
As the rain begins like tender tears
     then cascades in stormy sheets.

Let the rain seep deep into my cells, 
     into my serene soul.
Let my passion grow until petrichor
     is all that I breathe.
Radiance of the sun soon filters 
     through colored cotton clouds

Creating a rainbow in cool mist as,
     diamond drops dazzle
my adoring eyes, mirrors my joys,
     stills my hopeful heart.
My senses are glorified in the 
     aftermath of the sudden storm.

Rivulets from tiny pools run free, 
     sharing their sweet abandonment...
imbued and autumn hued.
     Winds morph into balmy breezes
and all is at equanimous ease
     except my heart yearning for more.

*Note: We seldom have any thunder or lightning in our tropical storms which makes them pleasant encounters. Some of us dance in the rain because it isn't cold.

Wow! A composition that is a model of poetic excellence. Such imagery! Such flow! Such a message! And such closing two lines. Masterfully done, Connie. It's enough to find me guilty of covetousness. Hugs, always, Paul

So full of feel and emotion. Another 'pausing' for me, some poems are so imagery, beauty and meaning loaded that I must let it seep into me. This is one such. Your imagery is spectacular, yet it is minimized in line length which makes it especially admirable. Hugs ... CayCay

Dancing in the rain...I would love that Connie. We have "soft rain" here, but not often warm enough to dance it.

This is enchanting, Connie. Your imagery and descriptions throughout are simply gorgeous. An inspired meditation on the beauty all around us. Fills one with a new appreciation for nature. I guess living in Hawaii will do that to you. Aloha! :)

Your diary must be a joy to read, Connie, if it contains beautiful extracts such as this poem! Storms without lightning and thunder don't sound at all bad, and I love the petrichor smell. ~ Regards // paul
