The scent of rain upon the breeze
Fills my anguished heart with ease
As it gently sways the trees
The scent of rain can please

The scent of rain I smell it now
It cools the earth and me somehow
Opens up the smallest flower
Rain's scent upon my brow

The scent of rain as summer ends
Reminds me of my fallen friends
It gives a hint of winter sends
Rain scent  peace descends

The scent of rain, will still my fears
That I've collected over years
Reminding me that God sheds tears
Rain sent healing nears

Many scents have I known
Through some the paths of God are shown
And I can see my pathway home
When scent of rain is blown

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

nakdthoughts,
thank you, I too love the smell of rain - among other things. Thanks for saying you liked this, it was morning whimsy for me.

Marshalzu,
thanks for stopping by and reading.

RS Evans,
I was going to write heaven scent, but I didn't want the words to be trite and cliched, which I do well btw.

Keth beloved sister of my heart and collector of my hearts dreams Rain Scent is quite probably the loveliest poem I've ever read and I mean it. You are inarguably the best writer of hearts tears, better than anyone I know. You darling heart write PURE MAGIC and that's no lie. YOU are utterly utterly utterly superb. And I know this, not because I'm blinded by love, before then, before i knew you, I read your writing and knew that you were a great writer.

Knowing your spirit as I do, I KNOW, you can and do shine like the sparkle from a precious jewel. Others write well amazingly well, you shine out as a star. Biased I may be but anyone reading this jewel will agree with me


Love and warm stuff

Marsha,
I do say you are biased, but thank you love for being that way.

Tis true rain can go both ways, but I am wet behind the ears in that I love it both ways.

This is a lovely poem, Keth...

The scent of rain, will still my fears
That I've collected over years
Reminding me that God sheds tears
Rain sent healing nears

I am one of those wierd people who prefers cloudy and rainy days to bright sunny ones, and I too, love the scent of rain...
There is just something so healing about a gentle rain, even a not so gentle rain.
~lots of rainy hugs~

Maree,
thank you so much.

Lyra,
I love rain to whether it's a summer shower or a drenching downpour, or a magnificent thunderstorm I love them all...I'm one one the people who don't have the sense to come in out of the rain...or maybe I do have the sense

ethome,
if I connect God and nature well, it's because I see God's hand through all of nature.

Keth
what a special submission!  awww.....i think i
grasp your meaning of purification, renewal,
and just outright wonder of one of the most simple of nature's treasure-gifts.
Please,
have a lovely Easter
and love on each relative you can get ahold of!
