When The Rain Comes

The crack of thunder rumbles thru the sky
As the first drop of water falls
The very first sound of rain hitting the roof is heard
The rain when it comes cleanses my soul
Clearing the darkness of which my heart holds
That first musty smell of rain when it immediately hits the ground
Gives me a weirdly satisfying emotion
Sometimes that's hardly found
The rain when it comes
Is like a cold shower on a hot day
Leaving me feeling refreshed,rejuvenated and like myself again
I've always loved the rain
With memories of me as a child
Playing in the rain so very often
Smiling whilst my eyes remain close and head lifted up to the sky
Feeling every drop caress my face and emotions it brought
And now I hear the rain just a little bit outside my window
It's begun this little joy of mine
As I tuck myself into bed
Relaxing greatly to the rain pitterring and patterning against the roofs
So as my eyes grow heavier
And my heartbeat slows down
I smile alone to myself in the dark
When the rain comes
