A Cool Summer Rain
By Paul Wilson

A cool rain greets me this hot Summer night
setting my soul free
Softly the raindrops fall upon my hot skin
releasing the heat inside of me

The rain washes away my pain and memories
from years of loneliness I’ve lived thru
The fresh smell of tonight’s rain
has made my heart smile and feel new

A calmness comes over me as the cool rain
consumes me… like a lovers touch
Releasing all the tension and stress of the day
come again sweet rain I love you so much

As the Summer rain slowly subsides
it leaves me satisfied … I must confess
I Hope it returns again tomorrow to cool
my body with its soft gentle caress

The clouds open wide releasing their magic potion
once again…I can never get to much
The rain that falls upon my body
gives me pleasure with its gentle touch

With outstretched arms I will be
waiting for your return
Bring me your sweet nectar
for which I yearn

Come again Summer rain… come again
I’ll be here waiting for you
Come again Summer rain… come again
I’ll be here waiting for you

There is something exceptionally soul-cleansing about a summer rain.  You capture it beautifully, Paul.

Michael...Thanks for taking time to read and reply. Glad you liked it. I wrote this for my daughter 2 years ago, she loved the rain
I wasn't going to post this but thought she would like for me to share it with those here on PIP

Your daughter would be proud, my friend,
and well she should be. I know she is smiling, lovingly, each time she reads it.

James...Thank you so much for reading and your loving reply. I"m not sure if she ever read this poem, because of her illness, but I hope she did...Paul

This is completely calming.  The storm is over here. I miss it.

Temptress...So glad all is ok with you, all we got were a few broken tree limbs and lost power for about 5 hrs. Thanks so much for reading this poem. I wrote it for my late daughter, she loved the rain...Paul
