Rain

I stood there in the falling rain,
Watching the swaying trees,
Listening to thunder roll,
Drinking in the fragrance that arose
from the freshly drenched earth,
And all I could think of, was
Two lovers rushing at each other,
Distance separating them no more,
In each other's arms,
Embracing each other fiercely,
Now shaking with tears of joy,
Now doubling up in mirth...
As lightning clapped and thunder sang,
As the breeze twirled and the trees danced,
What I felt in the presence of this cosmic love,
Was peace, a soothed soul, calm.
A smile descended on me
I raised my arms, arched my body
Pirouetted and with pure unbridled joy, pranced
