As it kissed my face
Its sweet drops sliding smoothly like veins
As I laughed enjoying its touch
while everybody else complained…
“I hate the rain”
“I hate the rain”
I smiled knowing full well
I am blessed by the touch of the rain
And look forward for when it comes
again and again
I was blessed by the touch of the rain…

Lovely words! I just wish I would be blessed with the touch of the rain when my tomatoes need it and not when I have just had my hair done. LOL I hope you have a wonderful weekend and even some rain if you need it where you live.
ReplyDeleteI feel yah, i don't really care if it wets my hair. I guess my good feelings of the rain stems from good rainy times of childhood.
DeleteHello Ms Rhapsody,
ReplyDeleteI love your poem. It’s so easy to take the rain for granted. Indeed it is a blessing!
j
Oh so..... absolutely
DeleteI very much like what you have written here. I too have learned to take my blessings in whatever form He gives them. And to be grateful each morning and night before I get up and after I go to bed. Even during the day, gratitude spills forth from my very heart.
ReplyDeletehmmmm...well said. I know what you mean. I try to be thankful for every moment even the not so great ones.
Deleteholy water aka sky juice but YES!!! we are blessed :) i missed you much. thanks for your kind comment. i can hols my own you know but in case of blah, blah, blahs i’ll rush to you at first notice, ok? smiles. oh and i love the smell of nature’s teardrops just the bit about getting me shoes wet irks me a tad :P
ReplyDeleteSky juice...oh that's one way of looking at it. No problem, I am here if you need me.
Deletestay blessed.
Thank you for this – I love the rain and nothing is so enjoyable as walking in the rain and enjoying the freshness that it brings.
ReplyDeletePeace and Light
I agree hole heartedly
DeleteVery good! I hope you have a blessed week.
ReplyDeletexo T~

DeleteThank you for visits on my picture place that I always appreciate the comments on my space.
ReplyDeleteI loved the rain especially a hot day after over temperature 40c, it seems coming in this summer season.
In here Melbourne not enough rain for last ten years and last three years became very bad situation with waters.
I wish we have rain soon.
I hope you having a great week ahead,
Michiko
ooooh no rain, yicks not good, I think many see the rain as an annoyance and miss the value of it, without rain we are doomed. I hope you get rain soon as well.
Deleteohhh thats beautiful…
ReplyDeleteit was poring down for weeks on end here just a month back….
maybe too much of blessing then ..
nice day
lol, lol, one would see there is no such thing as too much of a blessing but i see your point.
DeleteBeautifully written. I also love rains. It's peak of summer and we are reeling under power cuts. last 2 days it rained and mercury has dropped a lot.
ReplyDeleteoooh...Lord! I pray you get some release.
DeleteI love rainy days, especially now that we need as much rain as possible to get us out of this drought! Nice piece!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
hmmmmmm...remember how we did it at home on rainy days? something eh.
Deletefabz,
ReplyDeleteLOVE your poem here so much, but I wonder what made you choose the simile you chose to convey your sense of smoothness.
one poet to another,
daddio
Just went with the vibe, how I felt about how I was feeling.
DeleteLOL @ the person who called it sky juice. loved the poem, it was so relaxing and calming to the soul.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to feel calm and relaxed. Sky Juice, it is original isn't it?
DeleteRain has therapeutic properties. Getting drenched can re energize & refresh your body,mind & soul. Rain is gods gift and is there to enjoy not escape from.And who is is this charming Indian lass dressed in lovely Shalwar Kameez ? She is really enjoying the "touched by the rain" sensation.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend. Ram
Absolutely. I don't know who she is though she conveyed the feelings I expressed so well that I had to use her.
DeleteAh... what I wouldn't do for some rain right now..!
ReplyDeleteNo if I could have put a spout through the computer and have it extend out to you I would have given you the rain as it is falling right now as I look through my office window.
DeleteLovely relaxing little poem it put across the way you were feeling very well.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good week.
Sheila
hmmmm, thanks, sometimes the words like water, just flows.
DeleteVery beautiful poem.
ReplyDeletethank you.
DeleteWe have been blessed by the rain here for several days now and I am ready to be blessed by some sunshine. ;-)
ReplyDeletehaha...Amen, though you do know that the sun is shining, you just can't feel it at the moment. hehe
DeleteBeautiful imagery . . .
ReplyDeleteAs it kissed my face
Its sweet drops sliding smoothly like veins
I love it!
hmmmmm, that is what it felt like. when everyone was running I was slowing to a crawl hoping to get more wet!
DeleteI love the rain, I love the smell of the rain and this is a beautiful post.
ReplyDeletethank you. right now as i write this response its raining. I am sitting her looking through my office window as I take a much needed break.
DeleteI don't mind the rain. In fact we need the rain. It's replenishing, renjuvinating. It will be arriving here in the morning.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed it does. If you were close I'd give you a high five for that comment.
DeleteRain is always welcome particularly to those who suffer under sweltering heat.Most Indian cinemas accry a rain scene when the heroine and sometimes hero too get soaked in rain.I thought you had taken a still from one such
ReplyDeleteThe poem is short and sweet
Yes rain is welcomed in sweltering heat.
DeleteThis is such a beautiful piece. I can totally relate. I know some people don't like the rain, but I enjoy walking and being in the rain. It has a very 'freeing' and soothing effect. It's peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. All my memories of rain fall has been good ones, even when it wasn't the best of times I remember smiling and loving the water fall.
DeleteI love the illusion of loving the rain and getting wet. In reality, I'd be freaking out because my hearing aid and cochlear implant are not waterproof.
ReplyDeleteThat is 10K in equipment. I can't afford to replace.
I love the photo!
wow, this makes me know the joy of the rain and appreciate it even more. So much is taken for granted, even the rain fall that we never give thought to those who are unable to walk in the rain for reasons you just shared. Thank you for that, this is something I never even considered before today. Thanks for bring home the blessing.
DeleteI love the rain. The smell is beautiful especially after a very dry spell. lol@Skye juice...soo true tho
ReplyDeleteI know. I remember running around cleaning out barrels and spouts to put and catch the rain so it can fill up the barrels with water. Those blessings meant some reprieve from carrying water for a little bit. My joy was two fold.
DeleteThat's so beautifully put :-)
ReplyDeletethanks.....
DeleteWe have all rain and we having for more then in now the winter time.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm....then you are royally blessed. I trust you are doing well.

DeleteYou had me smiling a big cheesy smile. I miss enjoying the rain, the last time i felt blessed by rain i was too little to understand the blessing and these days i'm too worried about my hair and clothes to enjoy it. I shall be dancing in the rain very soon thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you for sharing
Girl its only hair, its only cloths, both will dry, please do frolick and be free.
Deletethanks for coming.
stay blessed.
Just out of this world. A girl living opposite to my house used to drench her self and dance over her terrace whenever it rained. I could understand the kind of ecstasy she enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteIts a glorifying feeling, dancing in the rain, holding ones head up and allowing the rain drops to greet and bathe ones face and body.
