Joy Rain

Cumulus clouds fill the skies
The mood gets gloomy as I am elated
The air gets thick and all seems to quiet
Heart beats slow down

The sky falls, water it seems
Colors become brighter, some darker
Tiny magnifying glasses all over my window
See how big the world is?

Gleefully I play, splashing about
Wetness cover my face
Glorified tears from goddesses up high
Pouring me with memories, joyful and sad

I lie on the grass, I let loose
My arms and legs wide apart
My mind soars high, reaching the far horizon
Seeking solace, my heart is meek

The rain kissing my lips
Water hugging my body giving a peculiar warmth
Yet the chill keeps my feet on the ground
As I drift in my aquatic daydream

The hissing sound, a music of peace
The joining of raindrops, a tie of friendship
I am blessed with love
This, my joy rain
