The day after the rainstorm
The most peaceful day of all
The raindrops still lay upon the grass
But the sun has come to greet his admirers

The day after the rainstorm
I stand outdoors and draw in a deep breath
Through this solitaire inhalation
I ingest peace by the bucketload

The day after the rainstorm
Birds return to sing their joyful melodies
Though remnants of clouds
Still hover in the sky above

The day after the rainstorm
I remember not the day before
Tranquility is all consuming
It wraps me in and refuses to let me go

The day after the rainstorm
I cling to sweet Tranquility
And pray that dear old Time
Will stand still for a few moments more

When rain threatens the sky again
I long for the day after the rainstorm
