Pouring Rain

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.
