if I could capture the scent of rain
and hold it in a clear glass jar
I'd save it for a sunny day
when my heart longs for rain

I'd open it so so carefully
shaking the scent to the bottom
then I'd bring the jar right to my nose
and just i-n-h-a-l-e the fresh clean air

it'd remind me of you and me
dancing under cloud filled skies
splashing through the puddles
like a couple of overgrown kids

I can never feel rain on my skin
and not be touched by who you are

Wonderful wonderful write...as one who loves the rain as well, I truly appreciate this piece...love it!

sp  

it was love that first drew me,
it is love that will keep me here...
now I see love burning brightly
when everything else is unclear...

X Angel - How true the following line. It is most precious, and I know it every time I feel the rain.

'I can never feel rain on my skin
and not be touched by who you are.'
