Watching the Rain

I love to watch the rain. The way

it kisses the wet cement as it reaches the

end of its long journey from above. I love

the company it keeps. Its friend, thunder,

with a booming voice, yelling throughout

the storm. Its shy friend, lightning, who’s

gone before you even have a chance to say

“hello”. I love the peace it brings. Sitting

and watching as the wind whispers and

whirls through the nearby trees.

This is a piece I wrote for a poetry project. I was inspired by a thunderstorm that had happened the day before. Watching the rain is something I've done for years with my family and by myself. Writing this piece was a great way for me to express my love for the rain and the peace it brings me.
