Rain
Suddenly, a gentle rain descends from the sky,
Dampening the green leaves, moistening the earth.
Beneath the eaves, the flowers lift their heads,
Pearls of water gleaming on their petals.
The breeze carries the fragrance of wet grass,
As if the whole world is breathing anew.
In the quiet courtyard, the patter of raindrops,
Plays a soothing melody on the heartstrings.
Oh, how the rain paints a serene picture,
Washing away the dust of mundane worries.
Nature's brush strokes, delicate and soft,
Creating a masterpiece of tranquility.
Let us embrace this moment of grace,
And let our souls dance with the rhythm of the rain.
For in its gentle touch, we find solace,
And in its melody, we find peace.
This is the beauty of rain,
A gift from the heavens above.
A reminder that even in life's storms,
There is always beauty to be found.
