Refreshing Rain

When you are unwell And your body is weak Worries hang over you When it's solace that you seek No matter how hard you look For quietness and peace Your jangled nerves And aching limbs Refuse to cease Feeling very sorry for myself As miserable as I can be There is nobody, but nobody Can feel as bad as me I've talked to myself all day, Saying I could feel much worse Nothing I can think of Can remove this curse, I sat looking out of the window, Frowning and with disdain When it suddenly started to rain softly Down the window pane I was mesmerised as the rain, Commenced to fall Harder and harder Bouncing off the wall And making puddles everywhere It was so calming It was easy to sit and stare With the changes to the garden The rain was bringing there. Everything looked brighter New and fresh and clean Like all traces of dullness And dust had never been. Sitting in the chair, I woke up suddenly There was peace in the air That natural view gave me I now understand if I take time to rest, I will be able to cope if I try my best.
