Rain

A rumble in the distance 
Growing, radiating power 
The strong taste on the wind
Crisp and sweet
The heavens open, pouring 
down
Tears of happiness and relief
A soothing rhythm 
Familiar and comforting
Like a  whispered lullaby 
Or a pulsing heart beat
A song only I can hear
Ringing in my ears
A steady beat on the pavement
A simple dance with simple 
steps 
I lift up my face  
To catch them as they fall
The cool touch on my skin
Drowning out the world
Letting go and just forgetting 
As the sky falls around me
I am free
 To dance in the storm
