The Cooling Rain
There Is Nothing As Refreshing
I feel each droplet
So quickly spaced
One after another
Landing like little paratroopers
Touching down
From each area of my body
They claim a new spot
As soon as they hit
Another one quickly follows
A full scale invasion
So massive it is hard to believe
Such precision
In a matter of minutes hundreds of the tiniest wet explosions
Bounce off on impact
Looking up they seem almost invisible
Even though you can clearly hear
The soft echoing in your ears
Like a low pitched shhhhhh
Even with my head down
I feel them brush against my face and chin
In a moment of joy
My body feels exhilarated
The dampness gave me a sudden chill
So beautiful
So magnificent
I look off in a distance
All I can see is dark clouds above
The wind has picked up
Moving these little fellas
Even quicker along
No sun just dull light
What a special feeling
I am engulfed in a wave of rain
That slowly erased any pain
My body exposed and vulnerable
Has been only nourished and revitalized
By the amazing h2o

Michael-Milec There are so many feelings to experience in the wonders of the rain. I look around and think do you know how it is to water one garden and get every spot. The rain does it effortlessly for miles. If that isn't the coolest thing I have ever seen. Thank you so much for your comments and delightful spirit. I wish you a calm and wonderful afternoon.

Linda Crampton I really do love the rain. I dance in it until my wife tells me to stop. Splashing through puddles I love too. Some things I guess you have to be a kid to do. Thank you so much for your comments and sharing your insight. When I can't do anything else I reach up high and touch the rain. There is no law against it yet. My wife thinks I look foolish. I tell her it might be true but I feel great. Have an inspiring day.

Gypsy Rose Lee We should appreciate all types of weather each has it's own special qualities that make it enjoyable and sometimes frustrating. I agree with you time does travel fast. I heard it is because you love what your doing if not it goes real slow. Thank you so much and enjoy those beautiful blue sky's and sunny days.

No rain here, just blue sky and sun, days drift by and I cannot believe how time flies.

I love your description. You've conveyed the sensation of being outside while it rains beautifully.

DREAM ON, You have interleaved so much life in your poem, one (that's me) can feel the shower of blessing physically, mentally and spiritually.

Louise Powles I appreciate the sweet words of comfort. Many times I think what I say and feel only makes sense to me. Then I throw it out there hoping to catch the tiniest fish. I jump for joy when I get a nibble or a peck. Other times like now I am ecstatic when you read one of my stoems story/poems and really like it. I don't know what to say or what to do. So I continue to write hoping to please you. I am at my happiest when I see people smile and feel good not just about themselves but life all around them. Most of my stoems poke fun at my life and my misfortune turned into fortune. How can I make other people feel better when they have hit an obstacle in their life. It is so hard to overcome when you face a problem alone. Then when you realize you are not alone but we all are different but we deal with the same bad times and good times in our life. What a wonderful way to share and care. So even though I leave this page your words travel with me like luggage on a trip. You wouldn't go far without your luggage and neither would I without words of encouragement and kindness. Thank you so much. Make today very special and do something that makes you feel beautiful inside and out.
