-- I Love the Rain -- John Herlihy I love the rain Mystical yet plain From heaven hurled Out of another world Arrives in timid drops Moistening the dry spots Knows its own soul My pieces made whole Gives to us what it offers As gold pieces in coffers Wondrous indefinable smell Of such freshness to tell Colors our fickle mood Rain makes some brood Its pitter-patter I adore Falling on roofs as a roar Rain – I want some more Torrents without a shore All day the heavy rain pours Washing clean the outdoors In stopping, the rain still kind Leaving a silver sheen behind In dying the rain turns fine Creating an aura sublime Rising heavenward as mist Ghostly mist the earth blest Mystical and yet so plain That is why I love the rain. - - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Friday 17 March 2023

There is nothing so sublime to me than to stand out in the open in a warm steady rain with my face and hands raised to the heavens.

How could anyone not love the beauty of rain after reading such refreshing thoughts as the ones presented here. I think this is probably one of my favorites, John.

I love the rain too, John. When we were younger, my wife and I used to go out in our shorts and have great fun dancing around in it. A beautiful feeling. The sound of rain needs no translation. Peace.... rlc
