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 skin
releasing the pain inside of me

The rain washes away my pain and memories
from years  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… with it’s gentle 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 happy … I must confess
I Hope it returns again tomorrow to cool
my soul 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 skin
Releases my pain 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

I find the rain to be a cleansing...of body, mind, and spirit.

A perfect chance for peaceful reflection.

Beautiful writing, Paul.

Michael...Thank you so much for your touching reply. I wrote this in 2018 but because of her health I don't know if she got a chance to read it, because she never commented to me about it. I can only hope that she did read it. Thanks again for all you do and for being there for me...Paul

Paul, don't know exactly what to reply but I was able to capture the sincere depth of your feelings as you transferred them into my mind and heart....
