Soothing ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #342

I find few moments more soothing
Than a cool, grey day
Whose listless breezes stir a gentle rain
Droplets patter pane and sill

And I, warm and dry
With a steaming mug
Turn the pages of a book
Offering scant attention to its contents

Angry sky
Above vacant land
Allows a torrent
That never satisfies
For the land
Is always thirsty

An expanse of green
And brown beyond
Soon again to be green

Above
A sky
Promising the gift of rain

A smattering of structures
For shelter, work and storage
All to service the green

Occupants come and go
Seasons of family
And movement

Change

The cycle of life
Plays out in a rural field
Far from city markets

rain falls
pittering the leaves
pattering the earth

nature’s sutra
gently chanted
outside my window

inside
warm
and calm

quiet mind
full heart
present in the moment

This forest of stone
Rotting on the desert plain
Rain the destroyer

Raindrops falling
On a fountain
Adds an instrument
To a song

As the tears dry
I remind myself
Even deserts know the rain

Pitter patter
Falls the rain
And the leaves

Splish splash
Boat at anchor
On the sea

Roly poly
Float the logs
Storms set free

On a day I wondered
If the rain might never end

The clouds did not break
The sun did not shine

So I sat with the rain
Found the beauty in the greys
With the susurrus of droplets
Falling on the gentle sea

In the peace I found there
The spark of a mirthful hope

Perhaps it would be better
If the rain did never end

Obscure
Mystery
Cloak
Soften
Dreary
Soak
Storm
Dour

Emerge
Fascinate
Protect
Soothe
Rainfall
Nourish
Excite
Beauty
