I simply love the quiet patter of the rain

because

its so very calming I suppose

it smells good when I close my eyes

it sounds like popcorn being popped somewhere

far, far away

yet, somewhere nearby as well

besides being right outside my own window seat

I mean

strange, isn't it

that even when it is right outside my window

one of its relatives is raining down upon

someone else's house too

off in the distance

and I lay and wonder

is that very person wondering about me and

my rain too

probably so

anyway

even though

its of no real matter

Good night person

whoever you are

and of course

Good night to you too dear rain

thanks for softly singing me to sleep

as only you can

in your own wildly wet way............
