~ the Rain ~

Oh how I love the rain. "Tap-Pitter-pitter-tap", "tap-tap-tap-pitter" "pitter-pitter-tap" as my soul cries. Joyous, graceful, peaceful, soothing, refreshing, sustaining. Hope is this way, love is this way too feeding the tired soul washing away the pain. Amid the enchantment, as the dark clouds roll-by, lightning crashes off afar. As the thunder quakes, Hope, love, remain. The rain, God's sweet refrain. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Author notes STOP, hey what's that sound...

Thank you for reading.
