The Heart of Rain
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005
As I smell the air afresh
The gift of a downpour amidst the sunshine
One can’t help but stare at the raindrops falling
In utter joy and amazement at nature’s beauty
Many have long ceased to admire
The very opulence, simplicity and essence
The unadulterated innocence and joy
The chrysanthemum above fades
Leaving rain-soaked trees swaying with the beat
The dark green leaves, the pitch dark skies
Saccharine raindrops falling in perfect rhythm
As spectators trickle off the leaf of little palm umbrellas
Little mirrors of silver shimmering on dry concrete frames
Defying comprehension and time
The heart of rain has longed to be free
Released from the grasp of the skies
It is now
