You could see it moving in
like a great gray wall
traveling about across the way

Miles from town we are
and could see the wall approaching
closer and closer

Soon the water tower in town
shrouded... cloaked with a gray veil
of pouring rain

We watch patiently from our
perch on the great porch
Moving it was, across the fields

Crops must be loving this
Sweet nourishing moisture
Sent from Mother Earth

Listen closely children
Hear that sound?
Rain thundering down to the dry dirt

Soon it is here
Beautiful rain drenching all
The spray felt gently on our faces

Then the aroma...
My god there is nothing like
the smell of rain mixed with dirt

We sit and we enjoy
the sounds, the smells and the wonderful touch...
of the pouring rain.
