I stood in the rain today
we all stood
some with open mouths
others with open arms
and more came
all wanting to touch the 'sky drops'
nothing ever seen before
and it continued until the earth was full
our thirst quenched
and the birds, they flew again in wonder
to bathe in puddles at our feet
and colour then had a name
the day its place
and together we were found.

Being a lover of the rain, I found your poem irresistible. After such a dry spell, it was wonderful to see the grass so green again and everything once more fresh and watered.

Thank you for sharing.

Jenny.

Barely stopped raining here, this Summer, but your poem truly reminded me how lucky we are, as recalling other years when it has been very dry. Particularly struck by "nothing ever seen before"

Like di, I wish it were a bit more of a novelty here too! A really effective, multi layered piece, thank you Hoalarg
