The rhythmic falling rain
The green flourishing foliage
The touch the sound the feel
Creation in God's grandeur real
Rain outside my window
Tapping at my door
I hear its sounding call
Rain rain evermore
Droplets of splendor
Upon branches green
Shimmering light
'Tis God to be seen
I listen to its haunting
Chant and melody
And feel its loving grace
Deep deep within me.

Hi RoseMarie-
I so love the sound of rain - the feel and smell of rain - the sheer and clean sight of rain - it refreshes my soul - renews my spirit - promises me a clean thought and drenches me in goodness from above.
Love to you
Gail
peace.....
the sound of rain is so soothing...perhaps like the warm arms of grace...
The sound of the rain can be soothing. So nice to curl up and read. Just notice your Award as Poet of the Year. Congratulations! That's quite an honor.
Have wonderful evening!
There is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of the rain!
Well it would appear that we all would have a great time cuddling to the melody of the rain.
Gail, getting drenched in the rain is pure delight.
Brian, I can feel the romance you bring to the rain.
Choices, Rain, a book, and a welcoming sofa - that is the deal!
Otin, I am listening right here with you.
A beautiful and inspirational poem. Congratulation, on your accomplishment.
Cynthia, Just saw your posted comment and want to thank you for visiting and leaving such generous praise. Will stop by. In gratitde, Rose Marie
