Soothing Rain

As the rain patters on the roof, It speaks to me, new things to know Soothing my soul, as darkness falls Nothing left, but the wind to blow Patter, patter, a rhythmic tune May help me sleep into the night My thoughts a river, in a way Not as scattered to find what’s right And as I rest to this new song, I decide that I will let go Of the worries sown by the day Into pleasant dreams, I will flow As the rain patters on the roof, Mother Nature becomes my friend Holding me with such pleasant sound Just so, my broken heart will mend Heidi Sands 5/6/21 One of 1st placements in All Yours (May 7) Poetry Contest.

Hello Heidi ... rain on a tin roof at night is better than any medication to soothe my soul into sleep. I enjoyed your poem Heidi - Lindsay

I love to see a good downpour in all its glory, saw some brilliant ones in Florida, ten minutes later the sun would come out again. Hope you're having a lovely weekend Heidi. Tom

It is true how that happens in FL. I was there, when it was a regular passing at the end of the afternoon. Downpours, then the sun coming out shortly after. The skies would let loose lol. Thank you Tom. I hope your weekend is pleasant :)
