The smell of rain.....

With dark ominous clouds about
the smell of rain is in the air
as large droplets fall from the sky
as if the heavens had shed a tear

splats of water lands heavily
bring life to our awesome earth
helping to stimulate new growth
thus encouraging  so much rebirth

with large drops splashing on the ground
but not getting me really wet
I watch the black skies moving away
showing  a rainbow I won`t forget

so as the rain recedes from view
a blue sky are revealed to me
the earth smells stronger of the rain
makes just another memory

large droplets of rain, leave a strong smell of rain on the ground
