Smell of Rain

 

 

It smells like rain
filling the air
before the first drops break
in quiet splashes on the river.
It smells like rain
musty and fresh at once
warning the birds
to go home.
And the rain comes
water on water
cool rush of sound
quieting insects
teasing fish
drenching boaters
surprised by the storm.
It smells like rain
It sounds like rain
It looks like rain, now
I’ll go outside
and feel the rain.
If you need me.

      I’ll be the rain.      

 

"Life isn't waiting for the storm to pass,

it's about learning to dance in the rain"
