Rain
Rain
taps the roof
rocks the leaves
soaks the soil
fills me.
Then the thunder comes
and smacks me
in the back.
My eyes overflow.
I laugh
and run outside
to skip through the river
in the street.

This is so joyful! That is exactly how I would react if we got some much-needed rain here!
Love the lines:
“Then the thunder comes
and smacks me
in the back.”
That’s exactly how it feels! I’m hoping for a very rainy monsoon season here in the desert. = )
