Day of Rain

The sweet relief in the humid breeze

Clean air brought to your lungs with ease

Delaying the sweat from staining your skin

Dark, heavy clouds coat the sky

No sun breaking through to make you sigh

What a merciless week of heat it’s been

An impending torrent left to hang

The storm expected with the softest bang

Pleading to God, in the mid-summer’s day,

“Send the rain!”

People harp about it so much, I thought I'd give the rain some love... I love hearing it across the  shingles of my roof and watching the rivulets drizzle down my windows. I love the gray canopy of clouds it falls from, tucking me in under my blanket, a tea mug in one hand and my latest novel fetish in the other.

I can't say much more then that... I need to turn the page of my book anyway!
