Summer Rain

Summer Rain

-Linda Lee Lyberg

Can you smell the summer rain

As it trickles, trickles, trickles down

Washing away the grime and stain

Appeasing the thirsty ground.

I view it through my window

It falls in pools, making wavy ripples

As the warm wind blows to and fro

The rain continues to trickle,trickle.

 

Dribbling down my window pane

I follow the path of every drop

As they slide down alone in vain

Into a puddle they plop, plop.

 

They form into a tiny pond

Each drop is no longer alone

The drops have formed a bond

And into a basin they’ve grown.

 

 

The essence of a summer shower

So tempting I want to drink and dip

My toes into the summer’s flowers

As through the delicate rain I skip.

 

My soul released, I shed my clothes

And dance in the gentle rain

I wash myself from head to toe

Cleansed and pure once again.

 

For nothing can ever compare

To dancing naked in the rain

I twirl and say a thankful prayer

For giving clarity to my brain.
