Visions of Rain
Copyrights Reserved© LeX Productions 2005

The torrents bring forth

An inner sense of calmness within me

The wind cuts its way through foliage

Sending forth a whirlwind of flying leaves and broken branches


My gaze firmly fixed upon the sky

As birds flap their rain-soaked wings

In fervent search for shelter amidst the storm

The clouds transcend all boundaries

Purposefully moving in a direction

Only they know


The raindrops bristle with

An infectious sense of exuberance and joy

Pelting the sidewalk incessantly

Even the great and mighty trees

Sway in meek submission


A layer of raindrops envelops

The green grass strands, the arrogant shrubs

They are rejuvenated, renewed once more

Rain brings forth new hope, new life
