The freshness of a cool, late autumn
Rain is so refreshing and exciting.
What a joy it is to walk along
The sidewalks without your shoes
As the rain falls so lightly.
The soft breeze carries that
Rare, sweet fragrance which
Can only be found when it rains.
The moisture seems to soak
Through the skin, reaching through
To rinse and cleanse the soul.
