Satisfying Sounds

Satisfying sounds like rain on a tin roof Or a distant cadence striking the ear Can calm the spirit and soothe the soul Anticipating something clearly yet unseen The purpose unknown raising expectations Of pure enjoyment and simple pleasure A good night's sleep or homecoming parade.

Me, too, Delice. That's one of the primary reasons I chose to have a metal roof on my house.

"The purpose unknown raising expectations Of pure enjoyment and simple pleasure" - what better purpose?

None, whatsoever. These two sounds always have this response in me.
