Liquid Sunshine

So, I'm sure everyone knows that it rained here yesterday. In fact, I can think of several words that described the rain yesterday like, "torrential," "downpour," "rushing," "driving," "plethora," and maybe even "monsoon." Besides the fact that is was extremely rainy day, it was also an extremely beautiful day. My favorite part was after the rain had faded away and the raindrops elegantly graced the plants and grass. The clouds hung over the sky in shades of gray, white, and blue-gray all throughout the day. But in the evening the curtain of clouds finally broke and sunshine absolutely poured through the sky and lit up the whole world below. The cool shades the rain had brought on were instantly warmed up by the golden rays of sun. The earth positively dazzled in the evening light and the sight was breathtaking. The sunlight caught the drops of water and it was almost like being caught inside a diamond as the beams of light scattered all around. It was in that evening light that I came to appreciate one of the nicknames for rain, and that would be "liquid sunshine." It was beyond gorgeous. All this rainy weather puts me in the mood for a poem! And I found a good one that I thought I'd share.

Rain

The rain falling softly upon her face,
Takes her to a magical place.
The rain falling softly in her hair,
Lets her soul float upon the air.
The rain touching her lips,
Give her the breath of life in little sips.
The rain falling softly from the sky,
Lets her know that heaven,
Is where good souls fly.
