Soft scents of gentle pine
Colors washed and watered down look much more vibrant somehow
Birds that squawk and chirp seem to have so much to say
As I sit alone on this rainy day
Not far off a cat watches me write
The smell of rain is clean and light
Civilization takes a background seat
As I surround myself with nature
And take a breathe in
The rain restores life to the trees
And fills the air with its sweet smelling breeze
The rain smells so much like a joy I used to know
That it's such a shame when it has to go
But next time it rains
To gain this feeling it won't be hard
I need only to walk to my backyard
The sorrow I had worn like a second skin
Fades away
As the smell of the rain reminds me of a better day
And one day maybe i'll find happiness
And with someone I love find a place to sit
And in the stormy weather we can find bliss
if only the rain still smells just like this.
