I sat,
Next to the rain.
As it fell,
Or is it pulled?
I could smell it, and the earth,
As they mingled,
As old friends do.
I sat next to the rain,
To hear it,
What a pleasing sound,
That drowns out,
Or silences the world.
I sat next to the rain,
In the soft color of grey and comfort,
Where patience melds with calm.
Encouraged to take ease.
Sitting,
Next to the rain.
i love the calming effect of the rain. it washes away all worry –
