Smell the rain, <br />all clean and fresh and new. Coming from the heavens, <br />wet and clear like dew. Streaks of light in zig-zags, <br />a crack and roll of thunder. Water streaking down, <br />strikes one with wonder. Washing all the earth and air, <br />renewing all again. Cooling the hot summer day, <br />blowing a fragrant wind. Rain, rain, come again, <br />bring a pause to heat and drought. Refresh our brows and our thirst, <br />renew our every thought. O-gentle rain, whisper low, <br />bring peace to the fast pace. Wash away our every tear, <br />bring a smile to our face.<br /><br />Jessie M. Combs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-rain-8/
