The Rain

The rain falls all around me
pouring though my hair
saturates my clothes and soaks my skin
washes away my cares

I raise my arms and begin to dance
my face turned to the sky
the grass is cool beneath my feet
Luna smiles from her home so high

I feel you before my eyes see you
your spirit calls out to mine
I open my eyes and turn to you
your smile illuminates the night

The rain dances all around us
pouring into our hearts
moonlight plays upon your face
I touch you, unwilling to part

You smile again, as if to speak
I touch a finger to your lips
without a word, I pull you near
and bestow upon you a kiss

My love, my life, my heart's desire
my soul begs to dance with yours
our bodies entwine, our hearts inflame
this night has opened so many new doors

The rain rejoices all around us
pouring down fresh and anew
this night of union, this time of rebirth,
celebrates my love for you.

BobbyCat~
This just makes me want to go
dancing in the rain.  
So pretty are your thoughts.

Rain Dance

Falling through night air
splashing softly on warm hearts
quiet sounds of love

I know this feeling. Ahem... storytime...  

A few friends and I were driving home after opening a play, and it was absolutely pouring rain. Tensions were high, and nerves strung tight... We'd all been working hard night after night and we were all dead tired. There was a sense of accomplishment in the air, but we were all carrying the burdens of weeks of work. Arguments, bitterness, numbness and exhaustion. No one said anything, but as we passed a field the driver slowed down, then stopped altogether, and we sat there, looking at the rain, puddleing, splattering the windows... then, as if in collective thought, we all opened the doors and ran out into it. We laughed so hard, danced for hours, kicked up mud, sang, cried, dashed through puddles... it was absolutely the most spiritually cleansing experiance of my life. Now everytime it rains I don't hesitate to go out in it, and let it wash my soul clean again.

...Daysleeper...

Nothing like a dance in the rain to refresh
ourselves. Nice read
