The thunder rolls<\/p>\n
The lightning strikes<\/p>\n
As the rain begins to pour<\/p>\n
Rivers begin to flow down the streets<\/p>\n
Flowers become covered with little crystals of rain drops<\/p>\n
The clouds so dark and gloomy<\/p>\n
Yet the sun still peeking through to say good morning<\/p>\n
With the blink of an eye<\/p>\n
The silver lining<\/p>\n
The sun beginning to break the clouds open<\/p>\n
Darkness<\/p>\n
no more engulfing the earth<\/p>\n
Light<\/p>\n
beginning to break open the seal<\/p>\n
The new day beginning<\/p>\n
Hope that the day won\u2019t end<\/p>\n
The thunder speaking in the silence<\/p>\n
The lightening showing the unseen<\/p>\n
The rain expressing the intimacy<\/p>\n
between me and the unknown<\/p>\n
Rivers in the street of my passions beginning to move<\/p>\n
It\u2019s happening<\/p>\n
I know why I love the rain<\/p>\n
And everything that comes with it<\/p>\n
I love the rain<\/p>\n
Because it is a dance<\/p>\n
It expresses how I feel<\/p>\n
It is intimate and deep<\/p>\n
It is complex yet simple<\/p>\n
I will never fully understand it<\/p>\n
But I love the rain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
