It Rains Before It Shines

One usually looks upon rain with distaste

The muddy puddles and downpour as just bad fate

 The sky a murky shade of grey, dark clouds hovering aloft

Water overflowing through the streets, the city seeming distraught

Thunder bellowing in the distance, lighting flashing across the sky

Trees departing from their stumps, and hearing heaven's cries

Nature tells us different tales, rain being one among

But to some it's nothing but a burden bestowed upon us all

But to someone like me there is nothing better

Than watching the leaves, in the breeze they flutter

The city going through a process of catharsis,

Every direction is filled with eerie darkness

The birds calling to one another and the frogs croaking in response,

Like a scene from a Disney movie, nature sings along

The scent of damp earth fills us with a sense of calm

And droplets fall like tears onto my outstretched palm

Children jumping in the puddles,

Colorful umbrellas everywhere

Dew drops dotting every flower,

People running and dancing in the showers

Farmers bursting with glee, everlasting joy

The rain can really aid us, it doesn't destroy

The best part about it is how easily one might forget

About all their problems and just look ahead

A distraction it provides us with, the rain

A chance to forget, a cure for the pain

When the showers die down and the sun comes out from hiding

It is a time for new beginnings, a time to enjoy life's roller coaster we're riding
