Rhythm of the Rain

I hear the rhythm of the rain on my rooftop, pit-pat, tit-tat, titter-tat-tat-tat. Spilling from sky silver globules leap onto the thirsty land and I am lulled into a relaxing bliss. Fresh scent of ozone curling, unfurling through my nostrils while the trees gulp their drinks. Crystalline orbs knock upon my windowpane singing, “hello my friend, come out and play!” I recall the days when I was a kid, splashing about in the summer showers to cool; tasting refreshing rain drops upon my tongue; my dog rolling, splashing about puddles beside me. I celebrate thirst quenching, cloud nectar for all!

I love rain, I love storms , I love showers, whatever and however rain comes down (except hail) I enjoy it. Especially if I am going off to sleep and there is a shower which lasts for hours - such a soothing sound on the window pane, and walking through a shower with a hoody on and your tongue out catching these refreshing drops is something else! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
