Rain

Rain is in the forecast yet again today.  Where most Texans are tired of this rain we've experienced for 14 straight days, I look forward to it and would not care if it rained everyday.  I love the sound of it, the smell of it and the overcast skies make me aware that I will have many excuses to not leave my little home to do mundane tasks that really are not necessary.
I am intrigued by the rain. 

This song, "Listen to the Rain," speaks to me, especially the 3rd verse.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=686k9qcmzkw

Every time
The rain comes down,
Close my eyes and listen.
I can hear the lonesome sound
Of the sky as it cries.

Listen to the rain
Here it comes again
Hear it in the rain

Feel the touch
Of tears that fall
...They won't fall forever
In the way the day will flow
All things come,
All things go.

Listen to the rain
...The rain...
Here it comes again...
...Again...
Hear it in the rain
...The rain...

Late at night
I drift away -
I can hear you calling,
And my name
Is in the rain,
Leaves on trees whispering,
Deep blue sea's mysteries.

Even when
This moment ends,
Can't let go this feeling.
Everything
Will come again
In the sound,
Falling down,
Of the sky as it cries.
Hear my name in the rain.
