The morning is early
Darkness is still abound
Clouds become darker
Stillness covers the air
The smell is distinct
The feeling surrounds all
The sounds are distant
Coming closer
The veil is closer
Sweeping across rooftops
Ever closer now
The sounds louder
One drop
Two drops
Many drops now
Is this true
Or does my mind
Play games as with the day
The sound is upon us
Its amazing
A sight seen only rarely
The roads and paths
Seem to shimmer
Under the street lights
My belief is now confirmed
It’s the magical stuff
Long awaited
Always welcomed
The rain has come
Hear the cheers
The people run in the streets
To laugh and cry
It sweeps down the road
Down the gutters
As it washes down my face
Will I ever see rain again
