Puddles
The rhythm playing on the roof
The moisture of the air
The smell of the ground as it kissed the rain
Lingers everywhere
I love the rain and every aspect of her
I adore how she changes the mood
The air of melancholy
That fills every corner of my body
Pools of water, pools of mud
The roads all full of puddles
Watch how the children play with them
And dance on the remnants of the rain
The season of water, the season of rain
Brings forth both peace and disaster
As much as she can calm you down
She can also make everything drown
The clouds that roll in the skies
They rumble, grumble, and shoot forks of light
Roars of thunder that echoes across the land
And shakes the ground and all that stands
Floods that ravage throughout
Devours and kills everything in its path
This strength, this power
Makes everyone cower in fear
Death and disaster are brandished on her name
—I know, what a shame
Because I am aware of her beauty
Her gifts her kisses, her gentle touch
No matter how much she carries pain
I would always love the rain
Every aspect of this season
I will always adore and cherish.
