Ode to Rain

What a beauty

My friend is

Its touch

Gentle

Pure

Comforting

Its smell

Intoxicating

Addicting

As a drug

Immense emotion sounds

From the sky

A flash

A crackle of control

A taste of nature's power

Bringing excitement

To little ones

Miniature ponds to play

Disguise for tears

A shield

Protecting mourners from

Unwanted sunlight

Washing my cares away

Clears my mind

Lets me breathe

Hated by so many

Loved by so few

Miserable to them

Beauty to me

Their beauty is the

Enemy of rain

The sun

Together make splendor

My greatest wish

That everyday

We might have

Rain
