Reg,
I believe that Mother Nature would not forsake such a request.
I love your descriptive lines, this is a poem that moves me.
I really have been away much too much from the den, I must not do that again.
Much peace, love and light, and rainfall...

"There is a sigh of breeze
A silence of the unknown
With whiff of distant drizzle perhaps"
I so like this, it is absolutely lovely and well-written
as all yours are Regis... I like the picture too :)
I can always detect rain by its lovely scent before it
arrives, just like I can detect the smell of autumn
before too...
"Anticipation
Hope
Expiation
Forgiveness
Rebirth
Revival
Please come
I pray
It has been much too long"
This alone says so much
Love and Light

| "Palpable" is the key word here because it connects the synaesthetic elements of the poem to the picture that introduces it. As usual, Regis, a happy concatenation. |

"the moon seems somehow shy to me" is a great example of what brings your poetry so resoundingly to life, Regis... this personification adds an air of indifference, a tepidity that blends with the imagery in the rest of this poem to suggest there is somehow a pathetic fallacy at work in the drought... an air of insidious intent...
We ourselves have just come through nearly two months without rain, but are now living through a sort of days of deluge... I won't go so far as to say, a monsoon is upon us, but the lawns and the forests are greening up nicely again... a balm, a refreshing calm is moist upon the land, and the long wait for Rain ... is over, Thank God!

GREAT picture..
Wet drenching contact
you have asked for and
now got
As the dimness has
been washed away and
made sharp and clear
High is the voice of
it's happy play while
it's rolling and then
pours
Through the streets
and over the grounds
the sounds of it's
joys are abound
Running, racing it's
way to the rivers
shore, dipping it's
toes into mothers open
store
Each tear drop each
rain drop streams to
the sea running with
glee
Thanks for the read
