Ode to Rain

It rained last night. The first rain of the season. I didn't get to see it rain though--such a pity. I woke up this morning to a wet porch and a damp, darkened street. It was beautiful. It reminded me of a poem that I wrote about two years ago. And about all of my fantastic camera adventures.

Ode to Rain

O how I love

The sound of the

Rain. The feeling

Of it running down

My skin. The coolness

And peacefulness of

The rain in the evening.

Rain in the evening

Illuminated by a full

Moon. So beautiful.

I walk in the

Rain. Rain streaming

Down my face, collecting

On my eyelashes. My

Clothes heavy and damp

With rain,

Press the cold against

My skin.

O to miss out on this

Natural beauty of the

World would be a

Shame.

Rain makes me feel

Calm, almost as if it

Washes my worries

Away.

Forget the umbrellas

And the raincoats

Let's just go walking

In the rain!

~Rain, I love you. I always will. Remembrance is lovely
