Rain Dance

Do you see the rain dance
no drop at a still stance,
pitter pattering all around
bouncing back to the ground

Steady there while you sit
as atop your head they hit,
each one is an invitation
and a newfound inspiration

No more need to stay inside
or under an umbrella hide,
simply set your soles free
leave all your troubles be

You can see the rain dance
live a little, take a chance,
lasts only a minute or two
later on skies will be blue

The skin will feel every drip
fresh enough to take a sip,
falling so freely in the air
let them tangle in your hair

Two together become one
washed over by innocent fun,
to thoroughly enjoy the soak
before the clouds above broke

If rain could it might smile
because for a short while,
here under the circumstance
you decided to join their dance.

Hello Kelly, I see the rain dance every time the wind blows and the trees branches sway to the beat of the wind. Have a nice day my friend.

Love the rhyming poem. Love the rain as long as there is no lightning .. My oldest granddaughter lived in Arizona where they get almost no rain.. When she came to visit the silly girl just danced out in the rain it was a joy to see.

Many thanks Eve... I sure can relate to that feeling of joy. There is nothing quite as invigorating as fresh rain showers and getting caught in them :)

Kelly I love your care free Rain Dance.. sometimes we live in an environment that promotes steady, risk-free, living and we miss the fun and adventure that surrounds us everyday. Every once in awhile it’s good to drop the umbrella and dance in the rain.. I love this work!

Many thanks Lyric Man ... I totally agree with your comment. Its not often enough that we stop taking life so seriously and just enjoy the simple things that are constantly all around us!

Many thanks Jim ... I love rhyme, too, although at times it can be difficult to write a poem that both rhymes and flows freely.
