Rain Poem by Smoky Hoss

Rain

Rating: 5.0


The sweet smell of rain
Decends like a falling dove,
Leaning into it I feel
A soulful plea...
The aura of the visual sense
And the aroma of the scent,
Together embrace the dreamer
Lingering deep within me...
The rainfall is poured
From a basin of wonder and mystery,
Deeply down it flows
Into all that I am...
Leaning ever further, as if in a dream
I allow the cleansing water into more and more of me,
Letting it wash away all the dirt,
Exposing a new and better man.

Baptism comes in the most unsuspected ways...
Salvation visits us,
Day upon day.

Wonderful poem with a lot of insights, and rain as purifier is always the excellent image. Rain is always refreshing.

A magnificent poem Smoky, enjoyed reading very much. Rain can be so refreshing, although I have to confess that I usually have a good old moan when it starts! !
