Summer Rain

Listen to the raging summer rain Mercilessly battering the ground - Drops bouncing like crickets all around. What heights its descent has drained Into the pools when it came unbound! My head is made silent by the sound And a sense of cleanliness will remain After everything's been washed down And the neighborhood streets have drowned. Harder still it strikes the window pane - 'Tho a peculiar sun broke through a cloud. So long as the raindrops continue to pound - Listen to the raging summer rain!
