The rain

Sunshine hides away from the world,
as the clouds cover up the light.
The sky is filled with dark clouds, 
and the gloomy day begins.

Animals take cover away from the world,
neighborhoods lay still as children hide away in homes.
The sound of laughter and double dutch songs leave the air.
The world lays in silence awaiting the storm.

The smell of rain fills the air
as the rain falls to the ground, 
covering the world in a flood of wet streets.
Leaving a trail of the rains journey on every window.

I sit on the porch watching the rain fall,
enjoying the peace it brings to the world.
Flashes of lightning fill the air,
turning the sky to day before darkness surrounds me again.
The crack of thunder awakes the world for a moment bringing fear.
I sit her in silence enjoying Gods creation.

The song of a bird lets me know the storm is over.
Children run from houses ready to explore the new world.
The sound of laughter fills the air again, 
as children jump from puddle to puddle.
The trees glisten in the sun as it comes out of hiding.

The storm brings along a rainbow
filling the sky with its beauty
letting me know there will always be peace at the end of a storm,
always a new day, 
always a rainbow.
Ending one of my favorite things
with Gods most beautiful creation!
