Let it rain...

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.
~Langston Hughes
I woke to the sound of rain pounding on the roof.
To flashes of lightening and the boom of thunder.
I snuggled deeper into my bed and sighed at the beauty of it all.
And when I finally climbed out of bed,
I raced to open the window-
to see it, to smell it, and to feel it splashing on my skin.
I love the rain.
