The rain can hide a lot.
When it comes down from the sky in thick sheets it can hide the world around you from view.
And even when it comes down in a drizzle, it masks the scents and sounds that would otherwise be abundant.
Even the smallest of rain clouds can blot out the sun, and the largest can block the whole sky.
Given enough time it can flood areas, hiding the evidence of life beneath its dark depths.
And the smallest drop can hide possibilities for new life to a dry landscape within itself.
They can only hope that the cracks of lightning and booms of thunder that come with the rain will cover up their gasps and heated moans as well.
