A little rain fell today,
and I walked in it,
feeling the coolness
of the sifting drops,
smelling the dust
start to moisten,
seeing my surrounding
chard mountains
disappearing behind
a grey vale of rain and mist
and I took joy in it
feeling the tensions
of the past few weeks
slowly dissolve in the
rhythm of my steps,
and I smiled at the world
and through the drops
it smiled back in peace.
Very nice. A great restful walk in gentle rain. I love that sweet rain smell.
Thanks, it is a special poem to me, and after the great fires and the great heat of the last while the walk really was wonderful and reviving. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.

just so lovely ,this brought the rain to me…great Poetry
Had to write it it has been so hot (42C the other day) and dry, and there have been major fires on the mountains, so the rain was so wonderful and reviving, also been reading and liking your poetry; it inspires me, best wishes and blessings, Charles.

Thanks have a great and creative day, Charles. ๐
Simply beautiful!
Thanks Melanie, it is a poem that I enjoyed writing, and feel close to it, have been reading poems on your blog, which I liked a lot especially Johnny unfiltered, what a sad but poignant poem, there are many like him in this country too, I did military training, but got myself thrown out, so fortunately never saw action. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.
Thank you, I’m glad you are enjoying my words ๐ I’m so happy for you that you never had to see action!
Peace to you,
Melanie
