Notes About The Poem

Rain

I love to feel the
wind on my face, 
bask in the warmth
of the sun’s embrace;
But as light misty rain
touches my skin
in divine delight 
I go within...

The wind becomes 
an internal force.
The sun enters my heart
on its warm course, 
But rain endeavors
to keep me whole
and helps to sustain
my very soul.

Thank you for the bit of beauty in my day! Sunlight and Water. . . Explaining all of life. You've brought out what a treasure the liquid gold is here with this delightful observation. Love this!

Beautiful....my type of poem! I love the rain, too, as long it does not turn into floods! When I lived with my grandparents I was fascinated by the rain pattering on the roof and the wind whistling round the turret of the windmill. ~ Regards // paul
