I have always loved summer thunderstorms.

Summer rain like whispered dreams

Over a lady's garden by windowsill

Soaking the sunburnt alleys

Where boys play ball

Girls skip rope and hopscotch

And history lays warm and heavy over the concrete

Summer rain like drops of cinnamon

That fall along where a little girl's tears fell

Pooling into a warm sweet well

Hot and heavy in the month of August

It's spice stinging the cheeks

Of a young woman

Joyful yet humble

Summer rain like summer sun

Warm while it lasts

But all too soon done

Summer rain

Till you fall again
