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.”
