The Sound of Rain

Under the cover of light or darkness music plays of the purest of sounds. Each note is different as it forms within the air. The music is created by something that is mostly detested for its ability to strike at the most inconvenient moments; it is the sound of rain. It hits the dry ground, splashing into embryo puddles, separating in to spheres of droplets of the clearest water. Each sphere is like a diamond, under rays of sun it creates immense rings of colour, halved by the sounding landscape thus rainbows are born. Rain is one face of nature that is almost frowned upon but still it persists regardless. The sound it creates is one to be listened to for it percolates peace through every soul. The sound of music for its ability to create calm is one that seems to have been made into a rare gemstone; it has to be found to be treasured. Rain might be frowned upon but it is the source of all life on Earth; we were all born from water.

Living in California, I don't get too much rain. But when I do I love every moment. The sounds, the atmosphere, and the harmonic feel. Excellent poem here. Thank you for sharing such an awesome poem! Always, Laura
