Rolling Thunder and a Gentle Rain

The gentle music flows from every drop of rain, as it just lightly taps against my window pane. The wind begins to whistle it's own melodious song, while the wind-chimes dance and play along. The soothing sounds cast open the windows and doors. I close my eyes and breathe. The energy surrounds me as my spirit soars. I hold out my hand and feel the raindrops as if they were at play. My breath now quickened with emotion. I taste the rain on my lips as I embrace the glorious day. The curtains blow inward the breeze itself is warm, my mind is so peaceful in the calm before the storm. The sky's voice trembles from above a darkening cloud, as the rolling thunder speaks it's thoughts aloud. The thunder awakens the flash of light. The part of nature that sends some to flight. I chose to embrace the power of nature in the earth and sky. And bask in the wonder that fills my eyes. The rain seems to be letting up as it puddles on the green grass, and the once powerful winds are now calming down at last. The gray clouds are parting and a bright rainbow forms, proving that something beautiful can come from such dangerous storms. My eyes close and I breathe in the scent of the cleansing rain. The brilliant hues of the rainbow dance in my mind where I feel no pain. The sun peaks from behind the clouds just to say hi. I feel the warmth against my face as I view the beauty with a sigh.
