AS I SPEAK OF RAIN
As the rain
Comes pouring down
And I take a look around
Noticing gray skies above
That are full of dark clouds
And glancing down at the ground
To every drop that hits
And listening to every sound
Becoming somewhat drenched
But I do not care
For I want to feel
The very rain
That is falling everywhere
As I embrace it in full
Yet describing just how
Simple it is and can be
As the rain is falling and streaming
Right along and running down me
And sensing more to come
Smelling it in the very air
As it blows pass me and beyond
I speak and it listens
As each droplet
That crashes the pavement
Splashes and glistens
With the natural intention
Of covering and wetting
Everything around
As I also watch the rain
Be absorbed into the ground
Such an experience
That I am having in this moment
And with much to gain
For what’s being seen and experienced here
I choose to not refrain
Or only observe from inside
And from the window pane
For I’m just trying to describe
In detailed words
As I speak of rain
