Rainy Day Dreams
By Paul Wilson

Gone forever those days of childhood dreams
watching raindrops slide down window pane
Puddles beckon me come splash your cares away
late summer showers invite me with their rain

Grass is a vibrant green from recent rain
flowers have a special fragrance and glow
Everything looks cleaner and fresher today
Worries melted away like winters snow

Oh how I love a gentle rain tap…tap…tap
a steady beat falling gently at my feet
Clouds of gray flowing on summer breeze
nectar from above smells so sweet

Beat gently on my soul rhythm of the rain
cleanse my heart and mind in your special way
Counting raindrops one by one
let it rain forever and a day

Sitting on the park bench a gentle rain
brings a smile to my face
I watch as others run for cover
dodging raindrops in their haste

I am at peace with the world
cares and worries washed away
Please return tomorrow
gentle rain I wish you could stay

~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~

Paul, your poem is incredibly soothing ~ and well-written.
I have been missing your poetry ~ and you.

In fact, I found this so calming ~ and cleansing ~ that I am saving it so that I can revisit it often when the need arises. Thank you, Poet Paul.

Yes there is something gently soothing with rain, as if it washes all our worries away.  What a lovely poem, serene and peaceful.  Much enjoyed by this reader.

2Islander2...So glad you enjoyed this. Thanks for taking time to read and reply...Paul

Linda...WOW I am really missed by someone other than the neighborhood dog. LOL
Serriously it is nice to be missed, I only wish that my muse would feel the same and get a move on it. I have much more poetry to share with the world. This was written for my daughter, she loves the rain...Paul

Heart2Heart...Glad you liked this. I really do feel like the rain cleanses everything and bringa a fresh start to life. Thanks again...Paul

latearrival...The first few drops are the worst,but once you get wet you just open up your heart and let the rain wash away all your worries if only for a short time. Thanks for reading and your reply...Paul
