The skiies, are turning a dark gray and churning above
I sit back and wonder what a storm this one could be
The wind, begins blowing hard, and a has a cold chill, to it
Soon the air smells like rain, the lightening strikes, and thunder roars
I wonder: Should I take cover........or just sit back and let nature take it course?!
Soon the wind chimes, begin to chime......... swinging back and forth as they rhyme
I take a step, towards the steps....to watch in the horizon as the storm rumbles closer
My heart begins beating faster, as I will soon be in the rain storm that will change the day
There it is........with its colliding winds, symetrical force and part of natures worse, and best!
This certain storm, does no harm; Just letting all things take in the water and keep growing
It has now gone............Fast and Furious, yet soft and gentle..............................

Sitting on the front porch, on a cloudy day
The skiies, are turning a dark gray and churning above
I sit back and wonder what a storm this one could be
The wind, begins blowing hard, and a has a cold chill, to it
Soon the air smells like rain, the lightening strikes, and thunder roars
I wonder: Should I take cover........or just sit back and let nature take it course?!
Soon the wind chimes, begin to chime......... swinging back and forth as they rhyme
I take a step, towards the steps....to watch in the horizon as the storm rumbles closer
My heart begins beating faster, as I will soon be in the rain storm that will change the day
There it is........with its colliding winds, symetrical force and part of natures worse, and best!
This certain storm, does no harm; Just letting all things take in the water and keep growing
It has now gone............Fast and Furious, yet soft and gentle..............................

wow brew...this was magnificent!
I now await the next rainstorm!

I'm always asking my friends whether or not they can smell moisture in the air..(rain and snow alike)
and they tell me I'm crazy!

I knew I smelled it!..lol
thanks for clearing that up for me-
and for sharing this most vivid and idealistic write..
5 stars on this..

Its the ions we smell cleansing the particles in the air. I love storms and that smell and the power in the storm moving through my body. The droplets cleansing everything and washing us pure and clean again. Brilliant write.
