Smell of rain

With dark ominous clouds about

the smell of rain is in the air

large droplets fall from the sky

as if the heavens had shed a tear

splats of water landing heavily

bring life to our awesome earth

helping to stimulate new life

thus encouraging so much rebirth

with large drops splashing on the ground

but not getting me really wet

I watch the black skies moving away

showing a rainbow I won`t forget

so as the rain recedes from view

a blue sky is revealed to me

the earth smells stronger of the rain

makes just another memory

large droplets of rain, leave a strong smell of rain on the ground
