Do you know rain? Is rain from above something that simply spoiled your day of a planned picnic, or a deluge that dampened your spirits because for a brief time, the sun disappeared? Did you wax the car and now, cannot show it off for fear of spots? Or is it more? Do you see it as a washing of air, clearing away smoke from eyes, or as a last clinging to stems before absorbed by earth, as if it were a heavy tear being pulled unwillingly by gravity… do you feel its weight in your heart?  Do you see the drops dance in puddles, looking long and hard behind the romance of it all, embracing this moment of quiet solitude, turning to yours, saying, “this is our moment of quiet” as the tapping resonates upon the roof, barely coming to your ear beneath the morning sheets? Do you know rain? Do not see the drizzle as mere drops that splash your windows after their washing, but know that somewhere an angel is crying for joy as it welcomes home a soul. Then, you will know rain. |

This is beautiful Karilea..absolutely. I love to watch the rain and when it clears the air for me. Maree  The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. ~Stevie Nicks~ |

Rain... giver of life and preventer of forest fires. I love the rain. Although it can stop any time now, it's been raining for almost a month straight. Grr. Beautiful poem, I've never quite seen rain the way that you described it, I've never really thought about it, but I do love the rain. Thank you for sharing and then He created the horse... |

Beautiful. It touched my heart. Love is something eternal, The aspect may change, But not the essence.- Vincent Van Gogh |

It is in these times of rain, that I so wish I had an aluminum roof, so as to witness the classical symphony that is offered... Sunshine, thank you for this beautiful reminder, of the importance of all things, regardless of what comes, it is all to important and significant...written from a gal who loves to walk in the rain and watch thunderstorms... smiles and hugs and Good morning to ya  |

Most of the time, I see rain as a cleanser of souls. It purifies our hearts, and clears our minds. Sometimes, it's more a weight in my heart, cuz it seems to symbolise the teardrops that would be falling down my cheeks if I were not controlling hard enough. And sometimes, it's just nothing but a blanket gone wet.  _,,,^.^,,,_ |

All those in the Pacific Northwest know rain, and it is a great cleanser of streets and minds. Thank you for celebrating my state activity, walking in the rain. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
