On Cool Rainy Days

On cool rainy days 
I like to slow down 
to millions of droplets
kissing the ground

The dry thirsty Earth 
is quenched and relieved
from the hot and dry season
by which she was grieved

The rhythmic raindrops
massaging my mind
satisfy my soul
and help me unwind

On cool rainy days 
with a hot cup of tea
and a pen in my hand 
I'm finally free 

To write down my thoughts
in meter and rhyme
on cool rainy days 
so peaceful, sublime
