its raining and i feel alive

[happydonutman93]

i love it when it rains ---- i like watching the raindrops hit the ground
and propel themselves upwards ---- in a last ditch effort  to return to the sky

i love listening as the rain fall ---- i hear it splatter on car windshields 
i hear its pitter-patter on pavement ----  each drop has its own sound 
as it plummets to the earth ---- and makes contact with the hard ground

i love the smell of the rain ---- as it washes away impurities
a new smell an unpolluted smell rises ---- the smell of the earth 
the smell of pine trees and green grass ---- as it is being cleansed and refreshed

i love the way the rain feels ---- it hits my head and travels down my face as i run
the feeling of being cleansed ---- the feeling of being renewed
the feeling that everything is going to be okay

trees sigh under its gentle caresses  ---- grass partakes in its life giving 
the earth feels connected for this short time ---- with the heavens that seem so far away

for once everything seems at peace ---- the plants and the beasts are silent
waiting for the end of the storm ---- but for this brief moment 
the earth cries out in happiness ---- the rain heals its gaping wounds
washes away the hurt ---- and replaces it with calm acceptance
for this moment ---- everything feels like it will all work out in the end
