As the rain falls

As the rain falls,

It dances in the sky.

Partnering with the wind and ground.

Enjoying it's time before the end of the dance,

With the hit of the ground,

The droplet twirls and finishes the dance.

As the rain falls,

I wish to be a dancing droplet,

The freedom of dancing with a partner,

Being as pretty and admiring.

Following the winds moves,

With the wonders of the trees sways.

As the rain falls,

The music is heard,

The pattering on the roof,

The drips from the umbrellas by the door,

The quiet of those around.

As the rain falls,

The beauty of the storm continues,

Flashing for less than a second,

Yet showing it's beauty,

How it knows it has worth,

With it's partner singing along,

The pittering and pattering,

The singing of thunder.

As the rain falls,

The beauty of it all has been shown.

As the rain falls,

A smile falls upon one's face.

As the rain falls,

The day gets better.

As the rain falls,

I can cry without question.

As the rain falls,

Dancing is a norm.

As the rain falls,

Things can feel normal.

Just because,

The rain falls.
