Lying wide awake during a lonely, rainy night
Hearing the moisture-rich drops taking flight
Trying to return to a dreamy sleep, without much pause
Failing because of music, those steady drops will cause
Remembering Eddie Rabbitt’s song of a beautiful sight
Declaring once again, he truly loves another rainy night
Imagining each rainy drop bouncing about
Wetting the ground with its showery clout
Rolling eyes over walls of a darkened room
Realizing morning light will arrive very soon
Recalling rainy mirages, memories hidden in the past
Hoping this precious rain shower will continue to last
Thinking of growing puddles, continuing to flow about
Watching rapid flash flooding, with creeks spilling out
Driving down a wet, shiny road with lights burning bright
Blinding radiance bounces back to impair one’s eyesight
Wondering where seldom-used umbrella went
Requiring it now, despite being twisted and bent
Smelling the soft fragrance of a summer rain
Realizing its sweet fullness will slowly wane
Allowing the steady patter of rain to sing
Falling asleep before the new day brings
Dreaming of future adventures in a drizzle so wet
Knowing it will offer more than anything seen yet
Here is a link to the unforgettable Eddie Rabbit singing “I Love a Rainy Night.”
So beautiful, I feel and smell spring rain.

The sound of rain can be so relaxing. You also capture so well what we can encounter on a rainy night. I also love the image you used with the drop of waters as they fall.
