The Return of the Rain
How sweet the sound of raindrops, As they serenade the ground, Each patter, a gentle kiss, In a symphony profound. The earth drinks deep from heaven, In a dance of pure delight, And blooms arise in joy, As day melts into night.
The rivers swell with laughter, While the air breathes life anew, A chorus of creation sings, In the freshness of the dew. These moments, sublime and fleeting, Are nature’s proud refrain, Let’s celebrate the beauty, In the return of the rain.
