Rain

The ground was so parched yesterday, and when I awoke at 3am to this sound, I was delighted. It lasted three hours, with no gaps between the rain-drops!

The rain came down, down came the rain,
Battering on the window pane,
Bursting gems from clouds up high
Shattering hope of a sun filled sky.

I've always found the sound of rain a pleasant experience. It rejuvenates not just the land, but our spirits, too, I think. Of course, those who live in monsoon regions might not agree.

I should think that California would find it so, I hear the land there is turning to expensive desert! Thanks again Samuel.

We have had a rainy summer this year and a warm autumn...just starting to get cooler...enjoyed Daffy:)

Must be lovely over there, just right for wandering along the blue ridge and admiring the view. I remember Smith mountain Lake, and Serando Lake and lots and lots of trees.

The rain was a welcoming one after the ground was parched.
But,raining nonstop for three hours was another trouble to you.
Wasn't it?
Wonderful write.
