There's something so very beautiful about the rain At times it helps you forget about the pain It stirs up the soul Brings back so many memories The first drop slowly trickling down your skin... ...Almost teasing you.. ....Such a sensual feeling How it washes away the dirt of the soul Almost absolves you of your sins It brings about an unseen freshness The sight of raindrops falling from leaves is so arousing The calmness after a heavy shower is haunting And then you can sense it... ...The strong intoxicating smell of the earth spreading all around The rain-soaked birds flapping their feathers ...Nature has left its traces all around You can't help but marvel at the beauty of it Forget about the world.... ...Close your eyes and simply take in the magnificence of nature And then as you sip your cup of tea... And it rains again... ....and as you sit and look out of your window Who knows when inspiration might strike you
